[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1714113, member: 14176"] Last car I bought at the dealership, we started negotiating about $8000 apart. I always ask for things like new tires, even if they are still serviceable, new mats, better stereo, etc. In the end, I know I won't get most of these things but will come off of them to give me leverage on the price. Whatever Fred Z asked for in the first round of negotiations may very well have been a similar tactic. Local 89's Air Supplement has factors in play that are unique to the Teamsters with an immense and almost exclusive part time work force in this one facility. They already have programs in place programs that pay college students tuition and housing to attract employees. Trying to compare their negotiations to any other local or region is simply apples and oranges. In the end, we will never know what might have been possible because the IBT imposed upon Local 89 a supplement that was inferior to the company's previous offer. An obvious punishment for Fred Z and his perceived aspirations, at the expense of the members. Shame on you Hoffa and Hall. [/QUOTE]
