Being labor lawyers, it hits you where you live. It's like the shoemaker's children. Being a good labor lawyer doesn't mean you're going to have good labor relations. There's no correlation. It's just not good here; it's very unsophisticated, it's very adversarial. |
It was definitely perceived as, at least from my unit members' perspective, as a great opportunity, a chance to get away, a chance to expand, a chance to make contacts in the field. Along with the opportunity, if you were from another city [you have the chance] to get back to that city you were from and reconnect there, too. That was certainly a side benefit, which we think was frowned upon. |

We've just decided that it's time to say that we're not going to take it anymore, enough is enough. It has sort of been a slow burn, hoping that with reason they would change their minds. But we've pretty much gotten to the point where we don't think that that works. |
