I understand you argument and I wanted a union here for many reasons, this one included. But our Mgmnt team sticks to our agreement, if they don't then there will be a union on property shortly afterwards. Jerry and friends will do anything to keep us union free including not detour from our agreement. That’s a small price to pay for increased savings down the road. Mark my words, they will stay the course.
