[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 1089246, member: 4932"] I don't remember ANYONE ever claiming that the company shoves a pot of gold at the union and saying "divvy it up however you want". I have always said that this is something to be negotiated, and that YOU GUYS (that is, the UNION) needs to decide which of the three legs of the stool is where you want the money to go, and how much you think you can squeeze out of the company. Those comments were in response to people who seem to think that there are no tradeoffs to be made between the three items (and other, non-cash operating work rules), and that they can have more wages, -AND- better benefits, -AND- more pensions. This comes out most clearly in the threads where people are being hit between the eyes with the increased monthly contribution for retiree health care, because $50 per month for a family is no longer viable.
