I got a great Christmas present this past weekend. We have been working since Sept 1st with out a contract. We signed a 6-year contract after turning down eight contracts (6 of which were a 100% NO vote).
We got 3% raise a year, a 401K, $1 raise per year for 6 years on our pension, kept our seniority, plus a few other things changed in the language.
It was touchy around here for the last few weeks with Christmas coming up, no contract, the company was threatening "Deadlock", etc. I would have dumped my entire collection if I had to.
BTW, I am with USW.
I was not sweating it as much as some of the guys. I had been an industrial maintenance electrician for the last 10 years before coming a Process Operator alittle over a year ago. I could find five jobs on the way home if I had too. Everyone is looking for industrial electricians around here.
