Looks to me like our backs are limp. Does anyone have any Viagra for the spine?
Sarcasm yes. Our limp MEC will fold like a lawnchair, we will get a 20% increase in pay and give up a few items. We ain't gonna get any improvement to 401k, scope, insurance or anything else. In fact, id be surprised if we dont start hearing of how great pbs is in the near future.
