Some of those folks aren't in the know of what's taking place with contract negotiations. Next meeting with the company is on the 24th and maybe we will get an update. I wouldn't anticipate solid news on pay rates as work is being done on smaller ticket items. Which is ok with me. Let's allow time for our hiring to suffer to prove to the company that we need to be at or close to the $25 mark. I think we are still a ways off on seeing some talks on flow. Market and hiring will dictate that need.
