Air traffic controllers 2.0 ?
This doesn't fuin keep up with inflation. I hope we strike and hope congress tries to put us back to work. Let there be a mass exodus. For all the people who support this st work themselves into the grave . The unions are totally worthless!
No cap on the insurance premium is the sticking point worth holding out for. We should have known it was going to go up, but to have it indexed to an annually adjusted 15% is unacceptable. We will quit getting raises on July 1st 2024, but the carriers will keep raising rates even after the contract expires.
No cap on insurance premiums will end up costing you more money than what this raise will give you! Don’t be fooled by the shiny object.
I for one am not happy. I hope we strike, if it is ordered back to work I will be sick literally to my stomach and mentally. I for one will be off sick after ordered back to work. The unions have failed us, action is needed above and beyond bureaucracy. I hope this is monitored by the companies, they need to know what will face them. I call for a work slowdown over the next 30 days and a strike to follow. After being undoubtedly ordered back to work after finally being allowed to legally strike I am calling for a nationwide sick out. Apparently following rules is not getting us anywhere except closer to a wage that is not conducive to the work and life style of the job. A real sm--k to the face.
Back pay will be roughly $8000 based on a 40 hr work week and including the $1000 retention bonuses for 2020 and 2021. Back pay will not be reduced by health insurance increases, but starting in 2023 health insurance premiums will go up sharply.
Back Pay ?
Did not recommend the 15 sick days or the extra holidays. You better read up on the recommendation.
So we didn’t get 15 sick days apparently I misread that. Not a fan of the layout of this recommendation. States the recommendation of all 3 parties making it pretty cumbersome to read
The healthcare basically didn’t change, the PEB sided largely with the unions. 24% compounded raises which equals $8 an hour plus an extra $1000 in yearly bonuses, and 15 paid sick days, an extra personal day, 3 extra holidays and people still complain which I think is hilarious. I think that contract is awesome and am tickled to death. Can someone please be specific and tell me all the things you do not like other than “this sucks so bad we are getting so screwed”
