Bargaining 10/17/09

The negotiations today were fun today. We tentatively agreed on most things and got right down to the end when a tornado ripped through WIU and everything was stopped until tomorrow!

All kidding aside, the notes were a bit hard to follow and I can see why the scribe has a very important part in the entire scheme of things. We got confused with proposals and counter proposals and the number system, etc. It was good when the documents were finally combined and we were all reading from the same page.

It is good we have some very financially savvy folks on the Union side, as well as proficient in Excel spreadsheets. This talent is important when we are looking at the financial impact for the Union as well as the Board.

This has been a fun experience. I honestly can say I don't really want to be a superintendent!
