Gallagher doesn't like unions, so he refuses to work with them in any way? Like them or not, I'm pretty sure they've been a part of this industry for a little longer than he has. Sounds like your CEO needs a swift kick in the nuts while having a military drill instructor yell at him to grow the F up instead of whining like a little 2 year old.
I wish you all the best of luck! Hang that idiot high enough for all of the many childish CEOs in this industry to take notice.
