[QUOTE="Satuirus2000, post: 5212637, member: 48065"] I'll never understand all this doom and gloom about workers being too greedy with unreasonable raises to the point that people think that it's going to bankruptcy the company eventually. If this company showed signs of profits slowing down I could almost get behind that line of thinking. But that is not the current reality. They are making huge amounts of money and it would dumb to not ask for our share. It's the companies job to be cheap as :censored: and stingy by hoarding money for themselves. It's our unions job to be a counterpoint to that and get us what we deserve. I think it's always good to ask for the moon anyway, even if it seems unreasonable, because that's how you find happy mediums. That's what negotiating is all about. These last two contracts have been a disgrace and huge givebacks. Why anyone is entertaining the idea of going big for our cut as something bad is beyond me. [/QUOTE]
