To start with, insurance and pay were being cut in the first two proposals
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.

always start high then work down. they always ask high at first then usually end up aroun3%. the signing bonus is just extra fluff. if they agree to accept it, why not take it. everyone here is trying to make money.

Hell I would love any kind of raise or bonus. I don't even know what those look like at my job anymore. Haven't received either in several years. I'm just thankful I have a job. I have no sympathy for union workers whining how hard things are.
And to celebrate I'm gonna rejoice in filing up my Jeep for $29 as long as it lasts.

That is their idea. They offer a signing bonus all the time on contracts.

Again, if you're one of the ones working a day job, STFU. O/G workers sacrifice a lot.
