Don't waste your time brother. It's beyond his scope of understanding. Some people don't even know what they want. All they know is "I want more!" without having any idea of where it comes from.So how much money should they put into the contract?
$500 plus a week for healthcare.
$400 for a week for the pension.
Your 3% raise @ $1.09.
That is just the first year. Multiply that by all of the employees.
I am not taking their side but we do have to realize we need them to survive to have jobs.
