Something like this will continue to ramp up the pressure a little at a time every month on the company to come to the table and strike a deal vs dragging it out for years. At the very least we will not fall so far behind our peers in the meantime.
It's simple, just put in 3% yearly COLA continue after the amendable date. After the last 2 contract negotiations, I would not expect the next one to all the sudden be early and civilized so adding that in should be a given.
