Once again, I want to point out that I should have listened to my instincts and never agreed to have the union negotiate for us with the administration. What the union got for us at the end of several months of negotiations is hugely, painfully and shockingly worse than what the administration originally offered.

Before you blame me for agreeing to accept the union’s help, please remember that I have colleagues and the decision was collective. I agreed a regañadientes, and now I’m too mad to remember how to describe my agreement in English.

    You agreed “reluctantly.” The musician’s union is likewise mostly ineffective….

      That, exactly, thank you. I’m very upset right now.
