So we could take a small pay bump and pension increase or take nothing and be at the same place later this year. I think we made the right choice….🤷♂️
What most fail to grasp is that going forward we are going to be a full negotiating cycle, maybe two, behind the Legacies and going to be playing catch up for a long time. Due to these extensions, the best we can hope for is parity for a very short period of time before being leapfrogged again. 10 years between contracts is simply ridiculous.
