Raises should be retroactive to the start of the new contract. However that doesn't recover lost wages. If you're on strike you're not getting paid. So they make 3% (or whatever) extra, but lose %100 of their pay while on strike. Union management 101: you dont strike for only wage increases. Ever.
Saw in the news today that this is the 6 strike in 36 years. A strike every other contract year? Insane.
