Thanks for the clarification

I did not realize we had to do a post for each day. Not a problem because I really enjoyed the weekend. My first post talked about the weekend so my second will dig deeper. Those who know me that I can talk your ear off. Writing gets me tongue tied. The insight that Dr. Closen in fact that everyone shared was very useful for me. The positioning and the offering of proposals are important and I will refer back to them as I file my notes for the future. In 32 years of education I never sat in on negotiations. In my teaching years I was a coach and it was not a position that worked when negotiations got tough. So all coaches were exempt from the team. The next 14 years I was a counselor and we rode the fence between union and administration. I knew both sides of the story so I was not included. As a principal I work with the teachers so it was discouraged. The discussion of strikes, mediators and arbitrators are a wealth of knowledge. As sick as it sounds I look forward to using the knowledge shared by everyone to bargin my first contract.
