[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1469439, member: 8481"] I am not missing the point. Whether the extension stays in place or whether it is ended, there is NO back pay issue at this time. Nothing is guaranteed. The reason the rest of the country got a retro check was that the raises were specified in the Master and it passed. It was not implemented until all supplements, riders and addendums were passed. (or should I say forced on us by Hoffa). We then got our retro check for the raise that we were due per the Master, but did not get. There is NO passed contract for 705 and 710 calling for raises on August 1, 2013 and August 1, 2014. So there is NO back pay. What will be negotiated is whether or not the new contract calls for raises on August 1, 2013 and August 1, 2014. If it does and it is passed, there will be a retro check. If it does not, there will be NO retro check. I don't see this happening because their contracts usually mirror the Master with a few improvements. But, both sides could agree that there will be no raise for August 1, 2013 and August 1, 2014 and that there will be $1.40/hr raise upon ratification to catch up to the Master wage rate. Again, I think this is slim to none, but there are no guarantees. If this was the case, there is NO back pay. It does not matter whether the extension stays in place or not. It matters on what the new contract states about raises on August 1, 2013 and August 1, 2014. Period. The reason they asked for the extension to be ended, was so that they could possibly call a strike. They cannot strike as long as the extension is in place. [/QUOTE]
