> I have a really hard time understanding the union's position. The problem is stated by the CEO of the contracting company very clearly I think it boils down to this. The union's position is not thoroughly explained, while the author seems to have very good access to the contracting company's CEO. That the CEO has poor opinion of union's request and present facts in a positive light for his company is a given. Now we need the other side's arguments explained first hand.
