Maybe, that is not always a given...

Rep. Markey and cosigners already asked NRC Chair to reply in writing by 6/15 how Pilgrim can carry out operations questioning management proficiency, and how they could carry out the E-Plan. Once the Bald Avenger gets involved, who knows where this will go...

What I am afraid of is the kooks using this to spread more FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, and DOUBT about Pilgrim which is VITAL to the energy mix in the area as well as the economy.
I don't mean to say that either side is "wrong" I just wish the timing was different and maybe negotiations could have been postponed until the license is renewed.
What good is a great contract for either side if the plant does not keep operating?

So, if the average salary is $61 an hour, what seems to be the problem?
Entergy said it has proposed further wages increases each year atop an average income that is already more than $122,000.

(Income is not necessarily 2080 hours per year, it could be 3400, 3200 etc.). ->GLW

So far it's Union - 2, Utility - 0. No one's gonna be a real winner as this goes on.
The union guys are getting unemployment (not their $60+ / hr wage), but theyre getting something.
The utility is bleeding money fast b/c they gotta pay the roadtechs (ME) and crafts for being here. this is slowly turning into a summer outage. w/o the shutdown.
And im slowly losing my mind listening to constant rumors and bitching.
The thing about negotiations, is that no one really walks away with what they wanted in the first place.
But at least, i'll buy some shares in Apple after a while. ;)
