Although during negotiations, he indicates that his stance and intentions are clearly outlined by the Council, which govern the tone of the meetings, so would this mean, the coucil advocates this behavior....... All earlier negotaitions, when handled by Milone personally, were fair and civil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-73338699947510884692008-03-29T17:09:00.001-04:002008-03-29T17:09:00.001-04:00Casual fridays is meaningless, the point being tha...Casual fridays is meaningless, the point being that this was retaliation for something else. Taking something away from certain groups to "get back" at them is the issue.

IMO, there are times when the Council must pass judgment.<BR/><BR/><I>Hopefully they can work things out.</I> I agree. But if a Board of Directors is out to lunch... and management does not bring issues to their attention... will things ever work out? Or will non-management start voting with their feet and find work elsewhere? Would that be an appropriate way to "work things out?"Tim Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588518063096822071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-16204187185318946752008-03-28T17:53:00.000-04:002008-03-28T17:53:00.000-04:00When you have unions or non-union workers vs manag...When you have unions or non-union workers vs management you will always have diffeences of opinion.
