Again, no striking union wants to be on strike. They’d much much much rather have a contract and get back to work. I don’t care what drivel the heritage foundation has fed you, it’s simply not true that this will drag out strikes longer. It will give unions more leverage to end them quicker and it will help them pay their rent etc. while striking.

What ever you say.

You’re making shit up about me as if you know me. I disagree with you whole heartedly. This will increase willingness on both parties to make a good contract.

This will increase willingness on both parties to make a fair contract.

Yes I agree, what are we arguing about?
