[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5659103, member: 59074"] I can agree that we can’t have it all. At least right away. At this point I would be okay with a little bit less of a raise than we are expecting but take care of the PTers (starting wage and catch up raises). Plus all the other things we already have agreements on. That would get us 80% of the way to where we need to be, and we can push the rest of the way in the next contract. I’m more focused on things that have long term benefits, that will stay in the contract long term. IE: air conditioning and heat issues, ice and water, excessive overtime protections. I feel like wages are fleeting and if you waste so much bargaining leverage on starting pay, you have to do it all over again next contract because of inflation. I prefer to get everything we want without a strike. But we shall see what happens this week. [/QUOTE]
