Well. . it was ‘negotiations’ . more or less which got us all this crap. I got a feeling the boys negotiating were ‘fatigued’ and pretty proud of themselves for FINALLY coming up with a TA we could vote on the 1st time around. . . warts and all.

Being that none of them were ‘commuters’ I really don’t think they gave a ‘rat’s arse’ that the folks living outside MEM were getting hosed by some of these little ‘additions’ to the quality of our lives.

There is actually a little ‘friction’ between the Bubbas who reside on The Planet . .and those of us who have chosen to have a better quality of life. Somehow. . the Bubbas don’t think we are as ‘loyal’ an employee as they are. Interestingly enough. . I don’t believe it is the commuters who are the ‘air wh*res’ . . who are making getting a new contract the more difficult.
