One of the interesting thoughts from today included the conversation regarding the role of a mediator. I always thought their role was to decide which bargaining team was bringing the fairest contract to the table and not just to get the contract settled regardless of who benefited.
It was good to hear some of the tricks that both a mediator and union rep. may try at negotiation time.
We also reviewed the ground rules for bargaining. One of the items on the list were concepts I never would have thought of at this point in my career (caucus condition).

I thought the same thing about the mediator, Darrick.
