Yesterday, I posted an entry about the U.A.W. strike against GM.
Today, that strike ended as quickly as it began
I don't know who blinked, and I'm sure neither side will ever admit who it was.
But the dispute is over, pending ratification of the new agreement.
Today, I was introduced to the process of a contract negotiation. Y'see, I am a union steward.
And I gotta say this: Good God!
Any outsider with no experience can wonder why contract negotiations can take so long.
Anyone who has the slightest inkling of what goes on at the bargaining table would never question that.
I will never again accept a bargaining committee nomination.
