All labor is included, it’s just that we are more difficult to deal with since we only operate one piece of equipment and our training takes time. The other labor groups require far less training and can be furloughed and recalled with much less difficulty. The one thing that I have learned from my 25 years is that we can give concessions and then furlough, or enforce the contract and then furlough. Hopefully they think that the revenue will be back for the summer of 2021. I would like to think that an actually worthwhile early out program and increasing demand would save some people from furlough, but Kirby isn’t getting my vote for one dime of concessions.
