Brothers and Sisters, This is NOT their first offer. This is just one of the many hundreds of offers made at negotiation. This is the one offer that the committee felt was worth bringing to the membership. And it is a damn good offer. If we vote down this offer, everything on it is off the table for good and the city gets to make " Last and Final Offer" which will NOT be in this memberships best interest. Our President and the negotiation committee are all class A personalities that won't back down.
