What?
Which is incredibly non-standard.
And we were like, that's fine because that gives us a leg up in terms of like studying the initial terms.
I guess we'll do it.
But like, yeah, incredibly non-standard, super stupid.
Not a thing that we should have had to do.
Yeah.
I've never heard of that before.
But so when we drafted it, we drafted a three-year term collective bargaining agreement with a bunch of stuff about procedure and wages and benefits that we wanted done.
And so zooming back forward to that best and final offer, suddenly the draft that they've sent us back of the collective bargaining agreement is a two-year term.
and up to this point all of the offers that had gotten anything close to our ask on wages were in year three and everything in year one and two was still like 25 cent 50 cent increases and so suddenly year three which was always the only year that made any improvements for us is gone and you did not improve any other parts of the contract to make up for that unilateral decision
So that's just regressive bargaining.
It is.
It is.
Which, by the way, do you want to explain to our dear listeners what regressive bargaining is and why you're not allowed to do it?
Yeah.
Regressive bargaining is a dirty negotiation tactic where one side, without making any sort of give and take concessions like they should to balance a big move,
just unilaterally decides to change a term especially a large term like wages contract term etc and so it is taking something that has been tentatively agreed upon and like in good faith taken as a part of the contract that would stand and axing it
Yeah, and you are not allowed to do this.
No, you're not.
