Bargaining Quotations
Bargaining Quotes from:
-
Address Quotes
Until we reach and ratify collective bargaining agreements with United to address the effect of this merger on employees, it is not in anyone's interest for this transaction to go forward, ... The failure of United to provide written job protection dramatically increases the possibility of a strike by members of the Machinists union at United Airlines.
-
Collective Quotes
We remain convinced that the NBA does not have the right to unilaterally create new ways to punish teams that want to improve by spending on player salaries. The effect of this decision is to continue to undermine player confidence in the NBA's administration of our collective bargaining agreement.

Agreement Quotes
Now that he's got this Collective Bargaining Agreement done for another six years, I guess he feels like his job is complete. He probably wasn't going to still be on the job when the next contract came up, so this is probably a good time for him to walk away with the league in very good shape financially because of the new TV contracts. He's done an unbelievable job as commissioner.

Breadth Quotes
If they had been part of our union, they might not be in the position they are in today. They did not have company-wide leverage in the discussions about their future. USW workers are protected because we have company-wide leverage. It's the breadth of our representation throughout the company that gives us more strategic bargaining leverage.

Agreement Quotes
I think it's a great thing, ... It'll feel like you can have an expanded roster. Practice can be good, but there's nothing like a game for someone to gain experience, and the D-League will help. It's a minor thing that came out of the collective bargaining agreement that could turn out to be a major thing some day.

Cannot Quotes
It is not a process under which senators get to say, 'I want you to rule this way and this way and this way, and if you'll tell me that you'll rule this way and this way and this way, I'll vote for you, ... That's not a bargaining process. Judges are not politicians. They cannot promise to do certain things in exchange for votes.

Agreement Quotes
I think there's more interest in the league right now, but it's on a franchise-by-franchise basis. It depends on the market, ... If you're in a good market, the collective bargaining agreement helps you a lot. If it's a marginal market, with a bad building deal, small season ticket base, I would say wait and see.

Contact Quotes
Over the last five or six years, there's a lot more day-to-day contact between our offices on a whole host of things. You develop better working relations as a result of doing that. You hope that that translates into something which makes bargaining a little easier. But that's something you wait to find out.

Budgets Quotes
The across-the-board cuts to all agriculture programs contained in the President's budget aren't a surprise. We dealt with that last year. But those cuts are a concern when we are still in the midst of world trade negotiations and when U.S. agriculture needs a strong bargaining hand while we seek reductions in trade barriers from other countries.

Agents Quotes
That was very distasteful to me, to retaliate so to speak like that (against the Vikings). I do believe the commissioner should look into these kind of clauses. We work so hard on trying to gain labor peace and a new collective bargaining agreement and then we as clubs allow agents to get cute and circumvent it. On the playing field there are rules and there are unwritten rules about how the game should be played in the spirit and the fairness of it all. It doesn't make sense to me that we had to lose such a fine football player this way. I was surprised by the ruling.

Aware Quotes
We are making good progress with each of the bargaining units. The administration's top priority is good contracts with good working conditions for all our employees. We need to get through this and get on with the business of running the college. I believe people are becoming aware that we will all need to work as a team to weather the budgetary crisis.
