Since our management decided to drag out negotiations, what was negotiated and acceptable just 6 months ago, is likely now industry lagging. Based on the last negotiating committee update, it seems that they still aren’t willing to negotiate an industry leading contract and want to pay below industry standards. If that continues to be the case then I think our best path forward is to reopen/open all sections of the contract to ensure ZERO CONCESSIONS, industry leading pay/benefits, enhanced quality of life, and tighter scope clause language.
Just my 2 cents.
agreed. The narrow focus of our openers would have been acceptable if management had negotiated in good faith. They have not. It’s time to widen the focus and fix QOL now too. Our QOL is awful.
