They can cancel their end of the deal and put it up for bid any time they want. Sucks. But then, I knew that going in.Billiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489132492383133253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-25876350534712906272009-09-08T07:30:07.514-05:002009-09-08T07:30:07.514-05:00I think the biggest sticker for me is the length o...I think the biggest sticker for me is the length of the contract. MM arbitrarily chose to modify a contract one year into it. I don't think that they would recognize the union the same way in a year or two when the economy recovers.<br /><br />A shorter length would have made it much more palatable. If the economy is still bad, they can extend it as it is, but if it gets better, the workers get the shaft.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-6512519651537450562009-09-08T06:25:59.997-05:002009-09-08T06:25:59.997-05:00We'll see down the road. As I told you on land...We'll see down the road. As I told you on land line yesterday, there are a lot of boats for sale, so MM is likely hurting like the stated. Hopefully, things improve down the road, and when the next contract comes up for negotiation, they can recoup some of the losses they're taking. I think they made the right choice for now.Billiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489132492383133253noreply@blogger.com
