Mood:  on fire

Net,

Today I received a letter from Davis, aka Bitch, at NYSCOPBA advising that they have declared impasse. 

Diane notes that her buddies at the state bargained in good faith, there is a quantum leap right over a cliff there.  Must be Diane's payback to Seidel for the delay she cause in regards to picking the neutral for the last round of arbitration.  The proper statement for Diane's number one is the parties negotiated to impasse, faith, good or bad should not have been mentioned.

What happens at impasse, come on it is justification for delaying the process until the bonds the state invested in at the end of the last arbitration reach maturity.

What happens when impasse fails, either party may petition PERB for arbitration to justify further delay so that the bonds can mature and again we pay for our own raise which will summarily be taxed back to the State.

NOTE: regarding Diane's claim that issues are limited to compensation, i.e. salary , stipends, location pay and insurance benefits. REMEMBER, "CALL IN PROCEDURES", OR WHAT ABOUT THE STATUTORY 2 YR LIMITATION ON THE AWARD ITSELF?  OBVIOUSLY THE PANEL WILL HAVE NO PARAMETERS AND THE LEGISLATURE WILL MAKE SURE OF IT.

Why go to binding arbitration?  Well, If you have Hinman / Straub friend Amy McCarthy prepare the comparisons, salary, stipends and insurance, SHE WILL COMPARE US TO THE NYS TROOPAERS AGAIN AND GET HER ASS KICKED, AGAIN, LEAVING LARRY AND DIANE TO ONCE AGAIN MAKE A SECRET DEAL WITH THE STATE FOUR YEARS LATE and the Panel will swear to it. OH AND THE LAWYERS WILL PULL THE STRINGS FOR THIS. LOL

AND GET A LOAD OF THE NEGOTIATING TEAM PICTURE, the happy faces make me nervous, how about you? Natilie is smiling for the payday, what about the others?

NYSCOPBA AWARD, "THREE MORE YEARS."  HELL, YOU COULD INSTALL A NEW UNION RUN BY MEMBERS, NOT ATTORNEYS, IN TWO.
