Our point of comparison is absolutely the legacies. I, and many of my peers, had our choice of employers and will not settle for “but UPS IS DIFFERENT”. We signed off on two extensions of “interesting” merit. As far as I’m concerned we should force the company to beg (bribe) Congress to force a contract on us before we roll over again.
