[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 268213, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]thats ok as long as the union does not tell them its a good offer. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]One of the popular fairy tales woven in the video was that the strike got us to change our offer. In fact there was no offer until it was clear that Carey was going to walk no matter what. We had people out at least two weeks before the strike warning the customers.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]The teamsters did not even submit their economic requests until the last week of july days before the contract was due to expire.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]So at some point its clear Careys got one thing on his mind , one thing only and the company puts together their last, best , final with the hope of getting federal mediation. In order to get federal mediation you have to have a last , best final offer on the table. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Little did we and ron carey know that the mediation would come in the form of threats from the then labor secretary.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]The end result was some of the sloppiest written contract language ever requiring years of litigation.
