[QUOTE="Smashmouth, post: 3717230, member: 73661"] Why does the company have to have something in return? What did they “give” us to try to push 22.4s through? Nothing! They bumped the part time rate for new hires to $13. Big deal! They need to do that just to attract workers! They bumped the pension $400 in 2020. Big Deal! They only bumped the 30 and 35 year pension. How many people busting their asses with todays loads and hours are going to ever see those pensions? Some will, but the vast majority won’t make it that many years befor their bodies fall apart. Why didn’t they bump the 25 year pension? Because thats a more realistic number that most people can probably achieve, so that would actually cost them real money. Our raises are pretty much the usual that we are given, so no big “give” by the company there. So we have made HUGE concessions for nothing out of the ordinary in return.
