So true. Both sides play the game with the rules they are given. Everyone just complains about the other team. Both sides have brilliant moves. We just don’t like the moves the other team makes when they’re creative. I know I don’t. But I can’t say they’re not working it, Gumming it, or whatever the phrase du jour is. Thank God we have a contract. Much better than the pirate code (non-contract employees) - as they are just guidelines.

When one side thinks the other is not brilliant but is actually cheating it goes to the refs. Then of course there is jockeying as to who the refs will be. There is also not negotiating in good faith - at least for a little while, asking for a $4B raise, offering $28M, and on and on. It’s a constant battle.
