I see you have read the government-union negotiation handbook. Stale sandwiches and lukewarm black coffee. Constant whirring fan noise. Construction going on in the building next door, and all meetings last until 2 am with no breaks. Court is forever. There is one lawsuit on a coal mine in the states that has been in court for 136 years. They are just about through discovery. The average right now in Ontario is 2 years to get a court date, and 5 years to settle. That is why a lawyer's letter and a reasonable demand often gets the job done. The expenses for a company against a nuisance suit that looks even half ass add up so fast that anything under 25K they pay out right away. Bifg stuff of course grinds away for decades. In Cobalt Ontario there were 132 mines and 138 lawsuits. EC<:-}
