None of us can know how much annoying/suffering is involved. If we could earn $1M to do nothing while doing a favour to an organization that has treated us well for many years, it would be a hard situation to pass up...

I'm not saying it doesn't smell a bit fishy, but all parties are simply making the natural choice in their own best interest
With the O’Reilly fiasco, wasn’t the CBA still in draft form?
I don’t know for certain but somehow seem to think it was
