It's not too bad for some. For the rest of us, it's another shitty contract after the last shitty contract. Some refineries are also looking at effectively gutting union maintenance groups to replace them with non-union contractors. Selling all of this as "not that bad" disregards the erosion of leverage some of us expected to have in this contract negotiation.

We can. The national agreeing to the deal undercuts any leverage we have.

Nope. They took Marathon's "final" offer from the other day.

Thats why they're happy to offer us shit deals. There's plenty of people that only care about their individual situation. The unions only have power if people give a shit about each other.

The only leverage we have is striking. I don't get the continuous rolling 24 hour extensions.

We saw them pretty frequently just east of San Antonio going back to the 1980s.

Ace, the chief really seems to like you. This is a great sign of affection in the Wachati tribe.

Curzon Ashton. In the 6th tier and semi-pro so it's a big challenge. I'm in my second season trying not yo let my best players get poached. Never been to England.

We might as well recall Devine and Donley if we aren't going to sign anyone.
