I know this sounds bad, but where do some of these guys come off thinking that they deserve a raise for doing nothing but being there for a long time?

Cost of living increase Ninja. If you don't get at lease 2-3% a year, you should look elsewhere, as your actual salary (adjusted for inflation) is decreasing. That said, 24% over three years is asinine hyperbole.

I personally think the union is completely out of line in rejecting MTA proposals that employees pay a portion of healthcare and that retirement age be increased to 62. They do not deserve benefits that are not typically available in the private sector. I don't see anything justifying extra benefits as provided to military employees.
