>OK, now you're going into la-la land. "It's a conspiracy," according to you. No, it's not. There are 150 clear years of history that you ignore. And it's natural and makes perfect sense -- management will of course try to pay labor the least they possibly can. And if management has unfair advantages, who else can step in but the government? >Of course the BART unions are going to demand as much as they can get. Of course it's their right to. The question is not whether they should be allowed to demand that much, but whether management should give in to their demands. >That's the question that you refuse to answer or even acknowledge. I'm happy to answer it. And my answer is probably not -- not at that exact amount. BART made a high demand, and the government is free to come back somewhere slightly lower if it thinks that's what they should accept. If the government gives them all of it, once again, I ain't begrudging someone a $4,000 raise. But that's not how negotiations happen, and asking for 6.6% will likely end up at, say, 4%. But if they were to ask for 4%, they might end up with 2%. That's just simple business! -Z
