[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 5543215, member: 50088"] Problem is the GWI's in the contracts always run low to high. In the past 2 contracts or so, starting with 70¢. This time around is unique because of the sharp inflation going into a new contract. Last year's COLA increase was much too low for real inflation. So would the union actually fight for a large first year raise and smaller subsequent GWI's (with the assumption inflation slows in coming years)? In all seriousness, I think top rate should see a $3 increase in the first year. Groceries are up an average of 25%, some things up 50% (steak for example) from 2 years ago. Not this 8% nonsense the government keeps putting out. [/QUOTE]
