So sorry that you had to endure this lengthy battle. Hard to believe that not that long ago the average CEO in this country made only 7 times the salary of their average employee! Quite different today: while you and your colleagues made sacrifices and did without, most of the people you negotiated with (against?) were largely unaffected since many put away more "savings" in one year than most of you will make in your lifetime.
To paraphrase my pal B. Dylan:
all the criminals, in their coats and their ties,
are free to drink martinis and watch the sunrise
While Henning sits like Buddha in a ten foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.

Happy New Year. Let's hope it's a good one....without any fear.
Thank you for sticking to the prison theme *and* casting me as Rubin Carter! I'm under no delusion that our collective action -- or that of SAG, or UAW, or SoCal hotel workers -- will truly upend a broken system that makes too many (well, too few) people too much money. Then again: maybe these *are* the first ripples of some bigger movement? Like I said, there's something in the air...
