I am confounded by the tortured tale of these negotiations. It is unfortunate that it had to come down to an illegal strike.

Without question, many people suffered severely as a result of this strike.

This is a very unfortunate event and an unfortunate day in the history of labor relations in this city.

The potential danger to the continued existence of the union rests with the adjudication of these fines.

A lot of people would not be sympathetic to the fact that the union would seem to be suffering. A lot of people would take the position the union does not warrant sympathy.

It was an isolated incident. It was very unfortunate.
