Yes, and that's included in the "minimal" section of my above post. Vacation accrual would, under the new contract, net at most a day or two extra, if you are at the right step (especially the October-november-december DOH guys). 401k match based on just $2/hr increase for two months, is again, minimal. At most, you'd be looking at 2 million to maybe 2.5 on the high end for 5 years.
