Then why is the negotiation committee, and MEC so insistent we take this TA if it will be integrated by DOH only. Their angle is we do not bring enough equity to the table during the TPA if we lag behind so far in hourly rates. My understanding is it will be DOH, and relative seniority determined by perceived equity and career expectations. The last of which we will have very little with the TA and even less without it. Therefore I believe a new hire would fare much better at JB. Is this wrong?
