    Yep that does sound better than going on strike, good luck with it, I hope it works out for you.

    BTW the other day some guy asked me why I was wearing a kilt, so I used your "Crushed nuts are for sundaes!" line, well this guy just about had a heart attack laughing.

    Great news. Hope there's a signing bonus or a enough of a raise to celebrate with a new kilt. If there isn't, well avoiding a strike is definatly a good thing.

    And a tip of the Jamesons would be in order then! Less costly than a kilt ;)

    Glad the dispute was settled, Al. I went through one strike in the early 90s. We stayed out for 7 weeks and then came back for about the same offer we went out with. I still do not believe the salaried personnel actually ran the plant, but it didn't matter. The company wasn't going to give in even if they had to shut the place down.
