Lets turn this around. If you worked for me and the company lost money BUT in our contract, you are supposed to give me a raise, what do you do? What did congress do?

Edit: :Lets look a situation we have here. My wife works for a hospital and unfortunately, it is a union shop so in essence, she is working for the union. The hospital thought that it would be getting a couple of important contracts but that didn't pan out. In the meantime, the union has negotiated a raise. In fact, the hospital is not doing well. Now, YOU go tell SEIU 1199 that instead of the raise they are getting AS PER THE CONTRACT, times are tough and they have to take a pay cut. See how far you get. I'm sure if you can pull it off without involving a suit, the CEO will be real happy at you.
