His hands are tied on that. Theres a reason that they made sure that they have an escalator clause.

If, considering the current states of the North American Economy, the Canadian Dollar and various other factors, the escalator clause can still outweigh any economic imbalances in order to still increase the cap it would take a depression of serious magnitude to see the cap go down.

Its all built into the structure.

Unions do not take wage cuts.
