As I stated previously, the picketing probably got some attention, but I'd argue that rejecting the first offer had a much greater impact on the final outcome than that, and the lanyards were, again, completely meaningless. They're a rah-rah union thing, but other than that, nobody cares.

And I had nothing to do with the Alaska contract. I am nowhere near Alaska.

You can save yourselves the trouble of posting any "and STAY away!" comments. I already know, and I don't care. That much should be abundantly clear.
