I think the Union and the Company should be locked up in a room for however long it takes to get a new contract signed. Breaks only to use the restrooms, 24 hrs straight. 6 hrs rest only after one section of the contract has been negotiated and signed. Then it's move to the next one. It's fair that the company and the union are under the same stress. No sleep till a section is completed. Each side gets one stress card that's good for 6 hrs rest. Time for our union dues to work for us.
Just need a punishment for either side if negotiations last longer than 2 weeks.
