I just find it ironic that the union drew a line somewhere that says 50 jobs isn't enough to continue the lower line value.

And no, if the lower line value saves 50 jobs, it will not help me one bit.

Just seems that both sides aren't very good at barganing. The union brought something to the table. And yes, it seems to be a pretty good deal with lots of options. Then the company responds with a counter offer that stipulates the continued lower line value. Then both sides leave the table. One would think there should be a continued barganing practice. Not "I want this and nothing else" and "We'll also want this" and neither side is willing to bend.

Man goes in to buy a car. Dealer offers a price. Man says I'll pay that, but I want 10 years warranty. Dealer says no. In any normal situation, the process should continue from that point.

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch like this once?
