75 days of pay for 52 days of work. Only unions think this isnt a good deal especially in this economy.

Yup. Read the story. I'll recap it for you - It pointed out that there was a meeting yesterday to discuss this agreement because the current agreement is unacceptable by the union and if not resolved, as it stands, the commission will reduce the meet to 3 days.

Nowhere does it say that the racing commission can't or won't modify their stance, since the agreement, apparently, is between the state and the union, to get their nose out of the middle of it.
It doesn't mention the option of offering these 6 the balance of the days worked at other tracks throughout the year to get them to the 130 in their contract.
It doesn't even really give an explanation as to why, if the track took no part in the original agreement, they ought to be on the hook for paying state wages for work not performed.
