Well…when negotiations began the number 1 priority, fixing retirement, was and still remains our priority. That retirement fix can come in several forms but most would agree that pay rates and signing bonus don’t address retirement in a long term meaningful way. Pay and signing bonus have to come up, but not addressing retirement would completely ignore what the majority of us want.
