How can we have actual good faith bargaining in this situation. Giving the members exactly what they want is giving into bullying. And if it works this time why wouldn't they take exactly stance when the contract is up next year?<br /><br />Mercier is on the way out and were probably gonna get a new mayor. They have everything to gain by taking an aggressive stance with who ever replaces Mercier and the mayor.<br /><br />Is dosen't seem to matter who is in charge the culture in the union seem's to stay the same. I would suggest most of the public views the union as much a part of the problem as the management. The public can ultimately change the management. But as we saw in the last strike when we see no real change in the union the public is far more supportive of management taking a hard line. The union membership needs to seriously look at changing it's culture. It can't be one sided.Deannoreply@blogger.com
