Umm, did you mean "contract" bargaining? Though I must admit, I'm giggling at the idea of collective bargaining as a contact sport! Anyway, I hope the bargaining sessions go well. With this being an election year, maybe the feds will be in a magnanimous mood, touting their "sunny ways"...
As it happens, I'll be going to a union meeting & lunch next week (annual meeting of the Retired Members Guild, Otttawa area)
