Guild offers to trade pay rollbacks for job protections

The Guild offered to trade a one-year rollback of this year's 2 percent wage increase for a no-layoff guarantee, a one year contract extension and additional personal days. The proposal also called for the company to make the Pension Transition Supplement (PTS) by April 30, and to secure future year's payments with a lien against real property. In making the proposal the Guild emphasized that any change in the current contract would have to be ratified by Guild members.
