[QUOTE="HOTELDUNORD, post: 1107826, member: 35938"] First off a 7 year deal is possible. Our contracts have been growing in length over the years. This would believe it or not benefit the company and the union both. I have my own sources and having the wages froze for the life of the contract is correct. However this will only apply to new hires. They are suggesting that all new hire full and part time will start at 14.25, froze til the end of the contract. Part time "new hires" will have no health benefits period-ever. Full time employes who start or are promoted after the the contract will pay the $90 dollars a month. All existing employees will be unaffected and will receive a "generous" raise over the life of the contract. This will make it easy to get the contact thru. Anyone who was around when we voted on the two tier contract should remember the apathy, @$%&! the new hire give me a raise. Their will be no bonus the union is against this big time. Retirees may be offered a buyout. This would be based on their current benefits which can vary across the country. They would pay you a lump sum for 10/15 or maybe 20 years. This money would be coming to you anyway but you would get a lump sum. The down side of this is if they gave you a 15 year buyout come year 16 you would get nothing. So to summarize you keep your health benefits with no change, you get a raise maybe even a couple more paid days. you get an extra option for your retirement.15 or 20 years from now a work force with greatly reduced health benefits and a rate of pay around $20 $25 an hour, after future contract negotiations.
