We will get 2 paychecks with it… then RRECS will take it away and then some with the new evaluations.

Well unless you are table 2 then you will get only some then you will lose more money and be in the hole.

Yep and only way of fixing it since it will be around is to get rid of the diet cola. full cola for all. That would be massive raises for a ton of carriers.

Table 2 carriers are the ones that don’t get the full amount except at Step 15 (nobody yet).
Table 1 gets that at every step at 40 hours and more if higher than 40.

Some Carriers could lose at the MMS regardless of the Table & Step.
