COMMENTARY
It's interesting how this story is breaking online first through the social media rather than the regular news outlets. Both ETFO and the Premier's office released the notice simultaneously through their media websites.
Perhaps they are trying to avoid the usual leaks and confusion. At any rate it's refreshing to see the new media being used so well. Other affiliates take note!
More discussion about what happens next follows on my blog below ...

Why Sam Why? To lead us along for 7 months and then drop us back into the fray after we were basically raped is hard to believe. Your statement that we will vote on the next contract is a joke right? Bill 116, 117, Hudak, 118 etc etc is coming. The only fight we had was what we were doing. You threw us under the bus. Does a plum position await you and Ken Coran? Why Sam Why?
