It's analogous to the owner of a unionized factory going department by department and offering bonuses and other goodies to workers who agree to ignore major parts of their labor deals. Such an effort makes an end-run around contractual rights and takes the 'collective' out of collective bargaining.Nan R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-66224693725559290362011-09-21T09:08:10.717-05:002011-09-21T09:08:10.717-05:00Trib reporters quoted lawyers saying the CTU has a...Trib reporters quoted lawyers saying the CTU has a good case against the mayor. But a columnist think it's time to quit b/c the court of law is less important than the court of public opinion? <br /><br />Last I checked, the mayor hadn't asked parents what they thought.
