As our latest union update stated:
“We are now twenty-three months into bargaining, we have not reached agreement on a single substantive issue, and the company still takes the position that they are unable to TA anything that will result in increased costs.”
You hit the nail on the head...
We don't need a contract - yet. We need to get a DISCERNABLE statement from Delta NC about what their ask will be next year. Then, stall and wait for them to publish. When their ask goes up, so does ours. And we'll have the ammo to go to the mediator and explain that we've been lapped in cycles.
I'll gladly wait another 2 years (given how long we've already waited) to get THAT much more.
