What a Bargain
Readers of the Chucklehut might remember last year’s contract negotiations fiasco, or debacle (or “fiabacle"). With the bitter taste of those hard slogs at the table still curling my palate, I had somehow supressed the fact that we had another bargaining session this morning, number two for this year’s round. I didn’t even expect the meeting to go forward. Therefore, it gives me amazed joy to reprint an email our union prez just sent out to all hands summarizing the results of today’s meeting:
“Management and the Union have reached a tentative agreement on the 2004 MOU reopener. Attached, please find a summary of the tentative agreement. We will have a general meeting for all bargaining unit employees on Thursday, December 4th at 12:00 in the Boardroom on the 4th floor to discuss the agreement. The ratification vote will take place after the meeting.”
That looks like it, then. Bargaining is over, without a single night in my favorite hotel in LA, or any visits to friends, or expensive but unsatisfying meals, or 4 am trips to the airport. Let the lobbying, brownnosing, and regularly scheduled reamfest begin. I have lots of extra energy now for such useful pursuits.
that's just the way it seemed to me at 04:40 PM

Ooooooor....you could come help us out. I work for a union and we have been in contract negotiations for THIRTY-FOUR MONTHS. Seriously. It’s not getting ridiculous, it got ridiculous a long time ago.
