[QUOTE="DiligentUPSer, post: 5661368, member: 43544"] I'd bet the longevity raise is a 1 time thing. As for MRA's, I'd guess if they are currently making $21 or over that will be taken away within a few weeks/months with this deal and anything over $21 could go back to $21 but they are still slated to get the contractual schedule raises of a total of $7.50 over the 5 years. If they were MRA at $26, or less then they would have never received a raise under the current contract due to expire or even if it went on for years. The MRA is high where I am and I've been a nearly two-decade PTer making near the same or the same as all other PTers for at least the last 3 years. I was bitter for a few years, so I relate with you folks while after starting and doing the same work for $8.50. However, the MRA people I've worked with making $26 do a great job and if this place fills people with great workers, then that makes my job easier. I wouldn't be surprised to see MRA's eliminated shortly after ratification, meaning someone who thought, and likely will be met at the gate telling them how great this TA is for them and to vote "YES". Imagine the looming disappointment to see that they went from something like $26 down to $23.75. Company will wait a month to spring that on them. Granted, these MRA workers will see the yearly contractual raises that will take them to $28.50 by contracts' end. That's not bad but this is an everything now world and SOB did deliver the biggest raise ever of $2.75 for the everything NOW folks. [/QUOTE]
