Did you get full retro? Can anyone cite an instance where full retro was achieved 3 years plus beyond the amendable date? How about 4 years? If not, there has to be a better reason than those pilot groups didn’t want it bad enough.
I don’t prescribe one way or another without the overall context of an agreement to look at. We could have full retro with small increases in the outlying years or less retro and more later. But, I think the above question should be asked and then answered. If yes, what did the pilot group do to achieve the result? If no, why hasn’t it happened before?
