“Today the Union and the Company met to discuss the various bargaining proposals on both sides. Discussions are intense but there is a possibility that negotiations could move forward. We are inspired by the solidarity across the District. You have proven to the world that you will fight back against the Company's unlawful acts, and rest assured we will not stop fighting for you. Our bargaining team will be working late tonight. It is our desire to reach an agreement and attain the contract that our members deserve.”
This sounds shady AF! I believe this was all sorted out last week and this “strike” was always planned to end no later than Wednesday. The Union just wants to pretend that they are “working hard on our behalf”. We get to strike so it looks like we are being effective and the company gets too look like they worked with the union & cane to a compromise on the demands. sigh
