What he is really saying is that the $90 Million is what they did not get, not that they gave anything back. I just looked over the 2009-2012 contract and even though they only get a 1% raise, its still a raise in the time that everyone else is taking cuts.
The contract actually is not bad, considering heathcare and other perks, like getting paid for sick days you didn't take....WTF?
