Average cost of living Increase in La is 1.5-3% per year not 6% - 90/10 insurance is a thing of the past costs have risen 10-45% in the past 2 years, pay a little more like the rest of us, why does the company have to pay you $7500 as a "signing bonus" when you already are employed by them - this is why your unions get a bad rap because they aren't aligned with the rest of the economic world and are greedy as frick for even demanding this kind of stupidity.
