Why are we not holding this as a bargaining chip until the next negotiations? We could use some improvement on some things, for example; the schedulers abuse their power by converting long calls to short call even with massive overstaffing just because they can. I doubt ASA will offer up a contract that compensates for inflation next round, certainly for many people on the current contract inflation will significantly outpace their pay increases. Let's not give things away without reciprocity.
