Sorry, but I don't hate unions, but it is interesting to ask exactly what they accomplish over three years of "talks" and exactly what they are doing.
What I really hate is the status quo from unions and negotiations that lets this kind of mentality prevail for years.
Part of it is the RLB, a big part of it is unions and management take advantage of it every time. It is their life blood to stretch out talks as long as possible.
You won't get anything better in one year than you would in four, but for unions and management it becomes a feeding frenzy, a buffet that lasts a very long time.
