This contract has many many issues that need to be sorted out. That aside, how much of raise will make you satisfied? Broken down by year. Typically the raises are the highest during the last couple of years of the contract, not sure that’s going to fly this time around. Thoughts?

I haven’t heard any number talked about for drivers. But I’m going to guess after everything checks out we’re going to get our standard 2 to 4% raise every year

Or $2.50, $2.75 and $3.00 total compensation and let the locals decide how to split it. Wages and benefits. The country has different needs in different regions.
Good point, such varying cost of living across the country. That being said, the last 4-5 years of inflation is historic, what type of raise would be needed to bring our wages to the spending power they had just 4 years ago?

Get the 5 year and make sure the unicorn pensions are secured or repaired. $1.50+ elevator raises sound right. Remember taxes/inflation are going to eat increases.

We proposed that the COLA adjustments be more frequent, possibly 4 times per year.

Someone with better math skills explain how that would translate to what our raises would need to be to keep up
Once debt ceiling raised we cannot keep up. We just make more and great benefits than others. Kinda like a head start in a marathon.

We received 2 adjustments, one in '21 and another in '22 per the contract. It's roughly the May readout minus 3%. The exact formula is in the master.
