I am always surprised when people do the smart thing.
In this case, the union at Major Unnamed Telecommunications Corporation has decided to continue working, despite the expiration of their contract over the weekend.
We'll see if they keep going that way. I suppose at some point they may decide to walk out to apply a little bit of pressure on the company, but from what I understand, they're already getting a better deal than almost everyone else in the business.
Meh. We'll see. There's still plenty of time for them to do something stupid.

oh, I think I just figured out who Major Unnamed Telecom Corp. is. They've (both corp and union) been running ads in the paper here explaining their side.
