NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

[chef larry]

Well chef that is no where as cool as a gun club. I want a kickass gun club or my own 10 acres. But like mamma always said wish in one hand and

People in the area didn't want a gun range around them.

Heading home from the INGO/MGO Meet & Shoot. Met some great guys, put some rounds down range, tested out different firearms, & swapped some information.

Scored an MGO shirt and patch.

The wife loved her wine tasting birthday surprise. We bought 3 bottles of wine. Then went to the stray dog in new buffalo for dinner.

They can't come to their computers now. They are all outside in their driveways walking around in circles around a flaming garbage can

Last I heard was that the negotiating team had chosen to stay in pittsburgh to continue talks and NOT come home to ask for authorization for a strike vote....

I'm assuming that is good news? If one side or the other was 'leaking' information it would be likely that the two sides are not getting along well. Yes?

I hate cleaning my grill.

My opinion is that we will extend present contract till negotiations are over.
They've probably made enough ground to show that they can get their goals closer.
A strike would be like the nuclear MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction)
They have been building up stockpiles of steel.
We have a lot of workers that have been banking all the overtime, and there are County/Township programs to help people on strike.
Both mean that the strike would go on longer, hurting the mill, the workers, and the community.
So they'd only use that as a last option (in my opinion).
Another reason not to strike..... "perception".
Customers want a steady stream of steel. They don't want to worry about where their next batch of steel is coming from.
So, if we lose customers, either to a mill that settled the contract or to foreign steel, the mill and workers may come back from a strike with no customers. So, even if the mill has stock on hand, if the customer perceives the supply may be interrupted, he'll switch suppliers.

Mittal usually tries to strike a hard bargain. Eliminating most benefits, even trying to make employees bring in their own toilet paper.
US has usually had pretty good reason to bargain fast and settle.
When US settles, Mittal is forced to accept something similar, or they lose customers and workers in the strike to US.

No you don't.

Just set it to HIGH, set the timer for an hour, and it will burn itself clean.
