at work?

since i have been woefully neglect in maintaining this journal during the last hectic week of picketing activity – i thought a quick update would be a good idea.

although we don’t have an agreement yet, we have returned to work today (friday) in anticipation of an offer being made this morning at 8:00 am. the national strike council decided that rather than have our members lose another days pay we would return to work to await the employer’s offer.

of course, we will not know for another couple of hours whether or not our bargaining team will accept said offer – and if they don’t then it is back to the picket lines next week.

i’m exhausted but so far everything has gone fairly smoothly. indications for a decent settlement are good at the moment.
