Necratoid Wrote:Teachers unions and nursing unions are infamous for chaining contract negoiations... they keep ranting to the press about not how long they've gone without a contract... then stalling the contract negotiations out for an average of 18 months after the old one expires. Then they start in on negotiating the next contract a few months later. Which will drag out until 18 months or so after that contract expires.Different circumstances (different employer, different union, different field), but it isn't always the union's fault. My union wanted to get a contract in place quickly, but despite repeated requests, the employer didn't meet with the union until 12 months after the contract ended, is only willing to have negotiation meetings once a month, and wasn't willing to talk about salaries until six meetings in.
