Hi Leo,

I hope I'm wrong but based on the 2 strikes I've been through at the Boeing Co., I'm afraid
that you & the rest of the convention attendie's are going to find yourselves in the middle of the
biggest, jugged up mess you ever saw if there is a strike.

It'll be nothing personal against you or the rest of the chippers but standard operating procedure for the picket's will be to disrupt, discourage, slow down, etc... the flow of customers into the casino to hopefully put economic pressure on management to settle. Keep in mind that when you & the other chippers start arriving, the strike will only be a few day's old & the union people will be mad as hell that they've been forced into a strike situation. I personally think (and hope) we will see a last minute settlement that is acceptable to all the parties.

Regards
