No, actually I didn’t, and it’s a very important distinction.

There is only one reason why the company even considered coming to the table early, and that’s because they want relief to help solve their attrition/recruitment problem. Otherwise they would happily take a knee and run out the clock until merger is finalized.

They assumed we could be enticed by a small raise to tide us over till the JCBA with B6, that we would have the “something is better than nothing” mentality.

This is why I’m not surprised a significant gap still exists, and I don’t blame the NC. Bring us their crappy offer so we can unanimously reject it and put the ball back in their court.
