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.
I think the company will try to get somewhere close to "making YOU whole" to get your vote. They will also try to mitigate the cost of delaying this contract. I hope you see the difference. We have had a ton of people fall off the seniority list since 2020 and the company hopes to distract you with a shiny coin so you will leave the retirees in the dust. But, make no mistake, they are hoping to only do 3-4 year contracts, every 6-7 years, in an effort to save paying what people are owed.
I hope you don't retire in 2027, 2-3 years post amenable date, while everyone remaining is hoping for a big bump in 2028 in lieu of fair retro to the amenable date.
