Collective Bargaining 7/7

Our bargaining simulation is going very slowly. Sitting and waiting!! It is important to remember to bring something else to work on as you are waiting for proposals and/or counter-proposals. This is a great experience but a very frustrating one. I am on the union side and I keep finding myself thinking as an administrator. I know all proposals should be considered seriously but do some proposals contain "junk" that are easily given away in hopes of something in return? It was nice to realize that I am right on track with some of the others when it comes to the internship. My frustration is with my superintendent. Instead of including me in "things", he simply says you can join me in whatever I am doing. I guess I'll just be his little side-kick for awhile!! See you all on the 20th.
