COLA is a 33 cent adjustment to top scale

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

No

Do you remember how much inflation rate has to be for the cola to kick in?
I'm pretty sure they use May's number to calculate if there is any cola raise

Anything over 3% but has to be a minimum of a nickel.

The raises we got sound better than they are because we do not get any pension contribution increases

Well, when you vote with a larger number of people who probably never plan to get a pension (part time) this is what happens.

We....as in you, me, and a dozen other pension funds....but some are getting theirs.

You can pick whatever number you want 4,000, 5000 or maybe even $6,000
That might not sound too bad right now but 20 or 30 years from now that will be nothing

@rod retired over 20 years ago and I believe his pension was $3,000 a month

That number right now will have to be somewhere around 5200 or more a month to equal that with inflation

It is computed using the "consumer price index" which is a measurement of more than just inflation.

When did that segment start voting?

Wasn't their absence in the vote what spawned the removal of the 50%/two-thirds rule in the IBT Constitution?

I still can't believe people don't vote on the contract

You cannot possibly make it any easier

We're both going to be dead in 30 years bud...and @rod will still be collecting his pension. We will be communicating with BrownCafe through the ouija board...I'm sure you'll figure a way to not slip out of your commanding lead on the total posts counts, even from the grave.

There won't be one. And I believe those prior 3 colas are all that we've ever received.

Just remember being cola skipped several times

 

[Coldworld]

And WDFD

Oh yeah...forgot that one.

 

[Non liberal]

Can someone give us an idea of what the Cola raise will be this year…assuming there will be one.

lol, cola, ha. The union would like you to think they just moved heaven and earth to get you this DYNAMITE contract when it doesn’t even cover inflation. Why on earth would you need a cola?
