[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 1024754, member: 14596"] [b]Re: Comparison: Last, Best & Final to Pre-strike proposals[/b] No "escape Clause" could get the company out of financial commitment made in a legally binding contract. You have no way of knowing that accepting that plan would have missed out on increments in the next contracts. It is possible increases in the next contracts could have been larger than they were. The total cost of the 1997 package would have been less, so it would have put the IBT in a position to ask for even more. It might have been less than what it was. I have no way of knowing. Neither do you. Yes, all bets would be off the next contract. All bets are off at every contract, and everything is up for negotiation. Do you believe the IBT to be THAT poor at negotiating? Apparently I have more faith in them than you do. No, I do not believe UPS would have just doubled it's offering. It would have raised it's offering as little as it could negotiate with the IBT. None of this is at all relevant to my point. Regardless of any future changes, UPS was offering you, in black and white, AT LEAST as much as you were scheduled to get at that time. The Union told you that was not true. That was a lie. Spelled out in black and white. And you believed it. [/QUOTE]
