If they refuse to negotiate and our contract is rejected, therefore we would not willingly work without a contract. Therefore, we would choose the time and place to perform a job action.
That time is now. Management's continued intransigence at the negotiating table requires an appropriate response to a continued inappropriate and stubborn behavior.
If management succeeds in rejecting our contract, we will strike, and we will strike at a time and place of our choosing. It's truly an act of self-defense.
