Look, if SWAPA gets any sort of a improved contract during the worst economic times this country has seen in 50+ years then I'd say that's a real accomplishment. Pay raises? Wow, pretty darn good considering we're looking at current pay cuts. It's a 5 year contract that probably takes them right to the time when the economy will (hopefully) be back in full swing - 2011. Just about no economist out there predicts much improvement until 2010. We negotiated our contract back when the economy (and company) was booming. And we did it right after UPS signed theirs - on reflection, not as great an accomplishment as one would have thought at the time.
