Dear Warwick Teachers Union,

I am sorry that I am unable to attend the picket this afternoon. Please believe I am there in spirit.

Dear Gene Nadeau,

I have had many warm discussions with you over the past few years and I believe we both walked away with value from those talks and even some agreement. In the above article you stated that you have invested "over 100 hours of meetings" and they haven't been successful. Well, Gene, if it even takes 500 hours then it does! Too bad! Your job is to meet with the WTU. If I was part of the discussions and it took 500 hours we all would have had new contracts two years ago because I would have spent 50 hours a week for 10 weeks! No one knows how long it will take to reach an agreement, but the longer it does the worse the school reputation becomes, so spend the time. The WTU is willing. Do it today. Tomorrow too. And if you want a proxy, I will be happy to sit in for you, because the solution (whatever it is) is way, way overdue.

Happy Summer everyone
