Big news

I have just settled my first contract. I'm exceedingly happy with the job my local and I were able to do. In a few months, we were able to establish a level of credibility with the employer I haven't been able to in any of my other locals--yet.

By the end of the settlement, everyone left feeling not that they'd pulled one over on the other side. Everyone left feeling as though each party got a great deal, something they could be really proud of. I got a lot of praise from the other side, but more importantly my leaders got more.

It only took seven months.

Later on (after the contract is ratified) I'll post some details about some of the provisions of which I'm especially proud.
