You defended those communications tommy boy, so now what are we to believe?

GU and the NC totally misplayed their hand (again) and thought that because they were the "new team" that we were gonna be patient and willing to wait another 12-18 months to get a deal and totally ignore the reality of where the industry is going. they are doing exactly what management wants: slow negotiations. management wants cheap labor for another year or two and GU wants to maintain power for another couple years. the most pathetic thing is that the NC, especially JA and JR are letting GU act like a mob boss and going along with it. they are no different than seiden or valenzuela - sycophants to a supreme leader.
