General Discussion

In Washington State.

I agree wholeheartedly. I was in Contract negotiations, and I sat back listening to the "Union Busting" lawyer from Chicago and his team.

At the end of this ridiculous speil, we'd caucus, and when asked why I hadn't said anything yet, I replied, "It's not time yet."

On the third day of negotiations, just before a lunch break, I ticked off seven things that the lawyer was erroneous about. I did not raise my voice, I only used facts to back me up. Negotiations were ended by 2:30, about an hour after the lunch break. We had won.

At a Union Dinner about a week later, I was presented with "The Bean Counter" award. We all laughed and had a grand time.
