It would appear the union has a ton of leverage just now….the schedule appears barely achieveable even with full cooperation.
Then again, one never knows what goes on in the offices of these corporate giants. Perhaps a slowdown they could blame on labor would provide a convenient opportunity to regain institutional control of the program, thus killing two birds with one stone (making labor look like a bad guy while management catches up with what they should have been doing all along). Thus, more outsourcing.
