True. I said it before, and I don't think I'm alone. But this thing is FAR from over. That was just the first offer, more than likely not their last, best, and final offer in this deal.

As far as which direction their next offer goes, who knows? Maybe they will play hardball and basically tell our MEC to jump in a lake and deal with the legal fall out later. OR, go the other route and try to negotiate something that minimizes furloughs, or delay them as long as possible. Just examples.
