“We’re not far apart on compensation, however we are apart on benefits. We want to maintain the existing health benefits…”

I suspect they are trying to protect a Union-managed health insurance program, such as the one that was recently eliminated in Wisconsin. That plan was a cash-cow for the Union, and paid for all of the costs and overhead for the Union, with enough money left over for sky-high executive salaries, buying politicians and a little for spreadin' around.

When Wisconsin dropped the Union-managed health insurance plan, the teachers got better care and costs were cut by more than half. The state went from a deficit to a surplus over-night.

Needless to say, the union is going to fight tooth and nail to keep this from happening in Chicago...

I wonder who programmed the contact info into his Blackberry?

From the look of things, not him!

Do you mean an Iphone can be used to make phone calls? I thought all it was good for was apps.
