            What would you classify as a good deal? My understanding is that these are good jobs to begin with, but previous concessions needed to be fought back against.

              Raises to keep up with inflation for example

                The pension contribution is embarrassing.

                  What was their pension before this contract compared to what it is now?

                    Good point its an old contract and you'd expect it to be decent. The contribution increase is stand alone not a combination of pension and health so it won't get eaten up by rising health costs (ie UPS). The "additional Benefits" sounds really good but as usual with these TDU style public relations flyers the devils in the details.

                      Not sure, but the GWI in 2019 was a shittty $2.50.

                        So, I guess I dare ask why do you say something isn’t good if you don’t know for sure?

                          Pension contributions under 50 cents per year are not OK. Most people aren't eligible to retire when they qualify because it's not enough.

                              This union thing feels more and more like the shell game, if nothing else a casino where the house always wins.
