We'll still have built in annual raises (many jobs don't even have this). My last job my starting wage remained until I quit 3 years later. The question is how much the raises will be. There's no evidence that they will be slashed. Pension cuts are the more likely future cut. Progression I think is a 50/50 shot this next contract that it goes from 4 to 5 years. I think it will will be one more cycle at 4 years though. Health care is another hot issue. Will we be required to contribute like most jobs? I think this is the most likely negative impact they impose on workers if any major change happens.</p></blockquote><p></p>
