Wow, they did do a great job. Trying to remember when the last time I got a raise even close to that large....Oh, ya, NEVER. So either they were previously grossly UNDERpaid (Did the union bosses not do their job previously?) or they are asking for an exorbitant raise which no one else in the work force anywhere sees.
