Of course people are emotional; they don’t like getting screwed. This only happens if we allow it!
I’ve been here for multiple rounds of the company trying to screwing us… This is not what it looks like. This is kind of the indignant take I am speaking of. Either you have not seen what actual malicious bad management looks like, or you have an incredibly short memory.
There are negotiating games being played by both sides right now, I certainly have no ill-will towards management at this point. If this drags out much longer than April, that I definitely will question Mr. Kirby’s sincerity.
It’s not up for us to develop a narrative about why we deserve what we are asking for. It is simply up to us to maintain a high standard communicate that to our union.
