The company cannot have any incentive to drag their feet on future contracts.
The amount of gains I would need to give up on that is very high (perpetual _% raises comes to mind), and even then I would have to think very hard about a no vote.
I personally want to be made whole for lost wages. Whatever accounting trick they do, I don’t care. Full retro back to 2020 could end up being a small percentage of each years wages. Or, 18% of this years wages. For me personally the 18 percent of 2022s wages would end up being pretty damn high. When I do the inflation math on my lost wages to the official cpi, I’m due 50-60k approx. So call it whatever they want, make us whole. Company is still held liable via their wallet and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Just my 2 cents. Flame suit on.
