Is this a joke?

OK, Boeing and the SPEEA negotiations team have a contract proposal, which the union is recommending we vote for.

My analysis of this recommendation, based on the contract details available so far, is that Boeing has bribed the negotations team.

If we work more than 144 hours of overtime in a quarter, our overtime adjustment goes up, though still not to time and a half.

Boeing is going to continue charging us for medical plans which used to be free, and reserves the right to add fees to plans in the future without consulting us.

But we get a raise! Which is about equal to the level of inflation in the last quarter. So we're still supposed to be a market leading compnay while paying market average salaries.
