So backpay is not guaranteed until the contract is settled.I find it hard to believe that the union would settle for a contract that had no raises in it until the 3rd year, and then a $2 raise. But if this was the case, there would be no retro checks.The retro checks will be for the negotiated raise that was not paid yet. If there is no raise, there is no retro checks. Very unlikely to happen, but there are no guarantees.</blockquote>
