I've experienced two such mergers in the last decade. No raises until after JCBA.



It will normally be negotiated after the financial M&A is complete, ie the check clears and the stock is transferred. Everything RLA is status quo in the meantime. Each labor group operates separately under their own CBA (including pay tables).



That's true.



I don't think that happened. If it did, it was either specified in one of the CBA's (possible) or a gift from the the company (doubtful).

Does NK or F9 have a CBA provision that specifies immediate snap up upon merger transaction?



That's true.
