Wow I hate it when discontent and hate is sowed too. Will the pro discontent and hate guys please stand up. Your orignal post had us in the middle of negotiating a new loa. That was news to me. If you say you dont know but you hope we are that is different.
Negotiating a LOA when a contract is approaching its amendable date is a pretty big decision. And pretty stupid if you ask me. What is the purpose of an LOA other than to "amend" the contract. I would hope that there would be some communication before we go down that path. I know, we can do another wilson poll.
Some might argue that we are in constant negotiation and the problem comes when the only issues we are negotiating are the issues important to the company. Happy 4th.
