[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5665105, member: 70932"] I can't believe that I am saying this, or typing this, but I cannot disagree. If we were paid $100/hr, people would still find something to bitch about and whine and cry. You can't make everybody happy. This contract tried to take care of the majority. It took care of the starting part time rate and took care of what most full timers really care about, pension and healthcare. A small minority got left behind a little bit. Not much, but a little. We maybe could have got a little better raise, or we think that we should have, but the entire negotiating committee, who had accountants, labor lawyers and the whole kit and kaboodle tear into the Company's finances, agreed to this TA. So it seems that the people we elected to represent us got what they thought was the best they could get. And now we second guess them. I admit, we are whiny little bitches....well some of us.
