I guess we wil just have to disagree on that then. That’s a fair point about being at an impass sooner I just don’t see it as having been way sooner and you run the risk of the mediator holding off monthly sessions for being unreasonable. This process takes forever already.

I get what the strategy was, but it’s time everybody admit it didn’t work. AND it’s time that our union tell us what the new strategy is rather than just say, “hey we want more money”. Crickets from the NBM. Crickets from the union. It’s so peaceful here it’s like camping on the island of misfit toys.

Didn’t seeem that way from your earlier comments. I do agree that we need a new strategy and it’s definitely frustrating that we haven’t heard what it is. Any suggestions?

Lastly, is your apostrophe key broken? “Your”? I’m tired of reading post after post that hurts my brain. Hate to be the grammar police but seriously...

That’s all I’ll say about how we got to where we currently are. There’s really no point in further discussion. I’m trying to now focus on a path forward. Any thoughts or suggestions on a new strategy are welcome. Other than the could be considered a work action ones please.
