So we can agree the company had some sort of incentive to come to an agreement. And that they did. Unfortunately for us, we have set a precedent here in the past of approving concessionary agreements. So we got a concessionary agreement.
Now we voted NO. The company and the union, at this point those words are pretty interchangeable, both don’t know what to do with themselves from the shock. “They” will recalibrate. We will get some reps who represent us. And the negotiations will continue with a big ass butter knife for that peanut butter jar.
