I sincerely believe the next 12 months will continue to shave time off of negotiation in section 6 when we get there. We should be ready to picket 6 months after this 12 month "interim" talk period is complete, if required. I'll be ready.
We should be ready to picket now - not that we have to or would want to but, we should be ready.
Although, it will still take a minimum of 2 years after section 6 openers before we will even be close to having a chance no matter how much "interim negotiating" is done!
