[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 54889"] Didn't mean soon as the 2 year window opens something will happen (penison changes) but I do agree the 06' union elections do present a very likely scenario. Don't rule out the 06' Fed. gov't elections and especially the 2008' presidential elections as the issue of pensions is getting hotter and hotter and no politician every turned their nose away from areas where they could get in and screw things up worse and still get votes out of the deal. On a more serious note, if something doesn't settle by 2008' the retirement could be a flashpoint issue with the contract and we may see 2 immovable forces fight it out over this issue with neither side willing to give. IBT leadership may not be able to cave to it's current bedmate as the rank and file pressure may just be to great. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. [/QUOTE]
