35.1 Collective bargaining button

Collective bargaining button The following poem by an anonymous author, although supplied in jest, provides a central insight about the collective bargaining process: Although the collective bargaining process can be long and tedious, it usually works. We wheedled and threatened and blustered, We ranted and wrangled and roared; We chided and fretted, we scoffed and we petted, We snickered and wept and implored; We groveled and swore and demanded, We spurned and we fawned and we brayed, We trampled on data, and tossed ultimata, We grumped and we stamped and inveighed; We whimpered and simpered and shouted, Pretended, defended, and doubted; We smiled and we jested, reviled and protested, Debated, orated, and shouted; We fumed and we sneered and we whined, We flattered, cajoled, and maligned, Consented, revoked, and declined… And finally the contract was signed!
