You guys all complained about the 45 day time line and again about the 2.5 day addition. Yet when it didnt work you are unwilling to accept that it didn't work. What if they would have said February was the deadline from the start? Think about how you would feel as of December 3rd under that situation. Hardly anyone would even be talking about the negotiation right now.
PapaMike= P M = Pinnacle Management?
We wouldn't have agreed to a joint contract if they would have said February. The only reason we are even negotiating this deal is because of the 45 day timeline that came about when we were about to start picketing.
