This is an agency that is very difficult to work for right now. They're out to intimidate the workforce and assert these management rights.

Right now we think we can get our work done with the workers who have showed up. We will do what it takes to meet the obligations of our contract.

Contract talks are over. Neither side in the negotiating room at the table has declared impasse.

Formal talks ended last week. This week was designed to exchange final offers.

When I try to get work in the US all they say is that I need to lose weight - but I bet they never said that to Mae West.

They just needed to do a better job of what we wanted them to do. Right now, we're inconsistent in our play and in our effort. As soon as we find some consistency, I think we have a chance to be a good team.
