First offer? I thought your first offer came about three years ago. Unless your union is a lot different than ours at FDX, your TA was the best deal your negotiators thought they were going to get, and much better than the first 3 or 4 or whatever, company offers. With a good negotiating group, you'll never see the first couple offers unless the company publicizes them (like Fred did.)
