And we're off!!! This week we got the final wording of our new collective agreement and demands for the next round of negotiations are already due in to regional the day this episode is published.

People love unions but even some members hate them. We remind listeners of some of the benefits and why some may disagree.

It's late and I didn't do a final listen on this one after editing so I hope it's all good!
