But clearly the motivation was there. That's my point. The knew the job going into it, so to ask fo rmore money because of stress is irrelevent. The stress has always been there - unless their position is that the stress has risen due to factors beyond their control. If this is the case those arguments hold water. But otherwise it doesn't. The job is the same, as is the stress.
If they are arguing that they should be paid more to match Calgary's inflation - that also makes more sense to me. But not the stress one.
