    That’s fair and it’s more steps to other than just the president saying ok, but I have to deal with the system I’m in. It’s still better than most other unions in the states. The trump years we only saw like a 2% CoLA which was barely noticable. There needs to be a huge legislative overhaul for real. I’ll still take the cheaper health insurance with a great 401k deal in the meantime. I am so frustrated with my country.

      “It’s still better than most other unions in the states.”

      Didn’t the auto unions just end their strike? Because Ford’s just negotiated 25% over the next 4.5 years, that’s predetermined increases that they company has to deal with no matter who’s the CEO…

      I think your union might not be as strong as you think…

          No but it’s the one we’re talking about now and it’s a major one. You can have great conditions in general, if you can’t afford to live where your job is because the last government that cares about its employees was elected 8+ years ago, you quickly realise that your union failed to protect you.
