"Call SE- I'm sure he would talk to you."
I plan on it, however I think this is a serious issue and he is our top guy and I think he should address everyone. Although I shouldn't have jumped the gun as this all came out today, but I would expect something from him soon.

"The frustrating part is the union is assuming (at least according to the last emails) that the company has any intention of negotiating or actually agreeing on a contract. This is an incorrect assumption. They will not agree to anything $ubstantive unless they are forced to. We should have immediately adopted a more aggressive attitude and set of tactics ... but instead we keep plodding along."--------exactly, but we will negotiate in good faith while we continue to get walked on and get no where.....that's ok boys fly it and grieve it later.. And while we're at it, there's another msg about premium pay this weekend.
