More importantly, you're on an internet message board. Lighten the hell up.
First, sorry for being so aggressive. Second, this is far from my first rodeo and from experience management controls the pace of negotiations progress 99%. So I find a proclamation that significant progress being made 6-9 months from now VERY suspicious. I have had a front row seat in this process before, and union guys would not normally know whether this was true or not.
I think from this point of view, you may understand.
