　TMI/YRC Response

705 will not get anything more than what was agreed to with the National Contract!@ Phil Stanoch

So far TMI/YRC has not given any type of a counter proposal and the committee is becoming tired of bargaining against themselves. Looks like we see if TMI/YRC wants to negotiate at our next session.
