Who would "leak" a good deal is imminent?
The union has no incentive to leak a good or bad deal because it is a result of 17000+ subjective opinions. Unless there was a specific individual who was personally tied to the deal both reputationally and politically, like maybe Donut yelli. P E B ! The union has to allow the deal to stand on its own merit there is no incentive to characterize it as good or bad. The company on the other hand could both garner support or give the impression of a missed opportunity depending on the outcome. Hmmm. I wonder which it could be.
