I highly suggest you take a look at Tim Donahue’s work over at Eight Points, Nine Seconds, where today he takes a close, comprehensive, and understandably incomplete look at the CBA talks and some of the discourse that has circulated as a result of it.
Tim has, in his words, “about 20 years” of experience in financial and operations analysis, and his viewpoint is certainly a lot more well-rounded than mine. If you want to learn a little more about the business side of the ball, I highly suggest it.
