Watchful Slaves and NSCC FAPS

Luke 12:35 ‘Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; This is the exhortation in the Roman Catholic Lectionary for today. In some way, I think the Faculty and Professional Support at NSCC were prepared for action today. Fortunately, a tentative agreement was reached. A spiritual and motivational question remains in my mind. What is the best path to healing the damage? Is it necessary to determine how we ended up prepared to strike even though, as the NSTU ads suggest, we were part of the last cycle of negotiation that did not complete. Did it not complete because we were overlooked or taken for granted? If that might be the case, are we ready to find out why it happened so the path of reconciliation can truly contain the promise of it never happening again?
