Oh wait, many will say we got a huge pay raise in return. We got industry bottom rates in return. Yes, it was a big bump, simply because this ‘yes’ group had given away so much previously, and for such a long period of time.
We gave away QOL, which we will never get back. And we had been promised we would never cave on PBS.
