If the company didn’t think this was important to do, there wouldn’t be any offer at all. Think about that again for a moment.
What other reason would they have to offer any kind of raise at all if they did not want this?
People keep talking about how the company won’t come back to the table and we will be “stuck” with current rates and that this is “free money” (it isn’t).
If first year relief wasn’t something they really wanted, they would have stalled all negotiations until the merger, not put a $400 million offer on the table before the amendable date.
Don’t be so scared.
