[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 757403, member: 18044"] A signing bonus is almost like a bribe, and should be against the law in [U]collective[/U] bargaining. ([U]Individual[/U] contract bargaining, like for sports stars, is a different matter.) Someone intending to quit soon can vote for the signing bonus, pocket the money, quit, and stick the rest of the members with a substandard contract for the rest of the five years. Other voters can pocket the signing bonus, then stick five year's worth of New Hires with a Contract that doesn't include a bonus for them, and probably harms them with givebacks as well. A singing bonus does not become a permanent part of the wage scale, nor is it included in overtime pay, and puts the members in a less favorable position when the Contract has to be renegotiated in five years. It's aimed at weak-willed people who don't get the long term, big picture, and seek instant gratification. [/QUOTE]
