There will be a last best and final offer. It will be like 97, but this one is going to hurt. When we strike we are going to cost this company billions. They are going to make it hurt in return. They will change their whole business model. You heard it here first. The whole model will change after we do this.
I thought you said the first offer
was the last best and final. My prediction, since we're acting like fortune tellers, is the second offer will be slightly better, though it won't fix the real problems. It might pass at that point, but I'd rather see it go back for one last round to actually fix the issues.
If either the company or union negotiate in bad faith, we might have to strike, but it would be insane to call a strike after the first offer gets rejected. Almost as insane as the people claiming it's going to happen.
