It's our turn to not go first in pattern bargaining. I am fine with our unions current approach to negotiations. We have the smart people with the data, the cunning, and the will to carry this out. The company has a former SWAPA political hack that is in a traditionally expendable job position who will almost certainly go spend more time with his family within the next couple of years.

Wind your watch, collect another day of retro pay, and trust the people that SWAPA has doing this job.
