Shhh. Purple tool box and his ilk are months from retirement. If you vote this contract down because it doesn’t have industry leading pay rates, that would be unconscionable.[/QUOTE]
Why are so many unable to have more than one thought at a time? Failure to improve retirement significantly will mean that the same people who are now denigrating the focus on retirement will be the ones complaining down the road that it never got fixed. I hope that we are smart enough to walk and chew gum simultaneously.
