I think it is funny that the UMP's that were "Terrible" and lacked "GAME MANAGEMENT SKILLS" somehow diminished the Unions ability to negotiate. Wouldn't those types of people actually strengthen the AMLU position???
What actually happend was that the UMP's were in fact good, maybe even (but probably not) AS good , but still GOOD, I guess one might say "GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE GAL WE GO WITH" So that effected their ability to negotiate. They positioned them elves as irreplaceable and were shown to be WAY off on their belief. They felt they were worth more because the were the BEST option and no other OPTION WAS CLOSE. The Strike PROVED THE AMLU WRONG. The first thought they had was WHO CARES if people cross WE ARE HEADS AND SHOULDERS better. but that wasn't the case. The Strike proved that they were not worth that much more because the MARKET would show that the MiLB could pay the same price for a similar product.
