[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3755109, member: 49065"] Appreciate your "avatar"...Dada movement, early l900's..Marcel Duchamp... It would be great if they could negotiate COLA increases with our Pensions also..similar to the lines of Social Security raises...Yeah I know why not ask... Like you stated maybe it is time to change the COLA standard. I believe that the formula is enacted set by a governmental agency, in what year was that COLA standard calculated? Was in the early 70's when inflation rate was close to 10 or 14 % (Jimmy Carter) or the early 80's when it was close to 7 or 8 %. Just the comedy of having a .12 and .10 increases over 40 years stated by BUG speaks to the effectiveness of that language. That "skill" language with this tentative is kind of confusing...So both the Union and Company now agrees that everybody is "skilled" which means now that 1 dollar per hour increase a so called skilled work is no eliminated for good..(a concession for the unborn).. Are you guys in your local enjoying any retention or show up for work bonuses? Here in the "Central" they are paying 125 per week to the first year part timers. [/QUOTE]
