Labor
Provision in CBA requiring a 3% raise on the anniversary of employment was not a bargained-for term that becomes part of the status quo after the end of the agreement; since each worker only received one raise, it could be considered a one-time benefit.
Dissent: One-time nature is an affirmative defense that should be considered when deciding if the union waived continuance of the term, and here, the union didn't waive the continuance of the term.
