Now, I am not going to say this will happen again, however...... I will chime in about this anyway..

Sh-t, I don't like the sound of the strike mess.

Last year was a very unpleasant time for us. We "paid" for "uncertainty" for 2 weeks...Not good !
I will not go into the details, but it was a scarey time for us. I am sure some of the regulars here on the board remember my posts during last years strike.
25% is a bit much, when we already heard NO raises here and layoffs hitting home. We're lucky we are able to go, who knows what next year will bring.

I am all for people getting paid for what they do, but lets be REALISTIC here.

Remember, this is LAST year I am talking about.

Please, please arubans, think twice before doing this.
off my soapbox now.
