Sisters and Brothers
I’ve sat at my desk and tried to write a short letter to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. My goal was to try to make the letter positive or at a minimum not so negative. I thought about the meaning of Christmas and that it puts most people in a joyful mood. I then thought about what I was thankful for the most, my family and kids. Then I thought all of us could make ends meet better if we had the raises a contract would bring. But who’s counting money at this time of the year? Negotiations have now dragged on into its 4th year and we continue to lose money every day. I wonder at what point does the water running under the bridge become so great that it is not recoverable. I could keep writing but it would just get worse as my frustrations with the process bleed out onto the keyboard.
We have our health and each other,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
