If you really cut thru the BS this is another case of do as I say not as I do.
Very few if any private sector jobs come with COLA clauses in a contract unless it's a union contract. Thus is there any wonder why so many union jobs are no longer in existence and those that are needed government bailouts and a government funded rebate program in order to stay afloat?
Wonder if the unemployed steel worker from Cleveland still reminisces of the good old days when he had COLA and thinks that standing up for unrealistic wages and benefits then was worth it despite having to work two crappy jobs, if he can find them, to get by now?
