Huh? Other way around? Normally agree with a lot of what you say but.....is it altruistic to purposefully torpedo negotiations for years? Let's review, last contract was 10 years ago. Rumor is, Union was told to come back to the table with something realistic or be iced again. If not, no deal before a JCBA, meaning 5 more years till a contract. So that's 15 years on ONE contract with no backpay and very unlikely to get Retention Bonus "IF" it goes that far.....MG played the Toonsters like a fiddle. Failing to see the altruism there
