What was the context of this, Snaqs? I read so much on the subject, it's hard to keep it all straight. There was something about when the last raise passed in '07 subsequent small raises were to follow, but I'm not sure how solid that ever was. Apparently not very.

SNAQ - Re read 3-b in my "What I would do" post and you would see we are agreed on assignors. (Which according to some makes the point invalid b/c of my agreement with it!)
Again, my understanding was that the pay for THIS year wasn't affected at the time of the vote but the pay for NEXT year was the issue. If I was getting 36/game and they came back and said "yeah, we are going to have to pay you 34/game" THAT is where I would immediately say "good luck with that". I think we agree on that as well. However, since the current pay wasn't affected then I would stay.
And where are you getting all these numbers? Waaayyyyy to much math to be done, good thing it is a slow day!!!

The thing is, they were working this year with the understanding that a pay raise had already been negotiated for next year. Once that deal was broken, I see three appropriate times to walk.

1. Immediately
2. After the regular season, in the playoffs. (Seems a lot more harsh, to me.)
3. Next season (do we really think they would have scheduled a re-vote without the walkout?).
