[QUOTE="Marlin3030hntr, post: 1127859, member: 47366"] I agree with some of you that of course everyone cannot be satisfied as there are too many varying opinions of what "fair" is, the fact that they claim that our health benefits will remain the same just being moved from one payor structure the another is a win in it's own right, we will see if that is the case. I have been with the company for nearly 7 years and am chomping at the bit for a ft driving spot and just about when it looks to potentially be within grasp in the near future(within a year hopefully) they slap the 4 year marker to make top rate. This is neither good nor all bad because will i be willing to wait that may years to hit the $33+hr mark you know it but in a time when unions are deemed evil more and more, health care costs are on the rise and many many people especially in my are unemployed, concessions in a slow(or even stagnant) at times economy are warranted being angry wont change that. They say that the have "resolved" language issues partaining to 9.5's, excessive over time and harassment and unless you are a poodle boy for management that is a good thing. The company will always look to take more everytime, they are in business to make money they are not looking to be a non-profit, this may sound bad to some of you but on the next contract I would almost hope to see a top rate cap with a cola as continually increased pay each contract will essentially translate to raised rates for the customer because the company must maintain their high dividends for the investors and if those fall they could potentially pull out, rates go up for the customer they stop shipping this equals no pay for us at all. Try to look at both sides before the outrage think of yourself if you were an investor or on the customer end. [/QUOTE]
