Hey Buzz, the local still owes us 150 for this week & the international owes 300. They we're both a week behind. :wink_cheesy:

Well, Larry said we will get paid the international money, I have to assume the local will do so as well.

Yes, much. We had to take a stand and we did. As Michael said, the strike brought the EPP to the forefront and elicited the support of parent groups, politicians, and other unions. The union recognized (as yours truly has been saying) that it was futile trying to work with Bloomberg and is moving the war to another battleground ... which can be done while we are back at work. But we will be doing so with support and momentum that would not have been built up had we not gone out at all.

Good call, Michael!!!

Wait a minute ... if they're both a week behind, how can they owe us different amounts?

(Sheesh! And I trust you with my money?!!!  ;D )

So .... that would be 2 weeks for the International and 1 for the local, right?

Also, I think the local actually owes us 1 week and 2 days, no? (Believe the week starts on Thursday.)
