Or "we need to start with a clean slate" then "renegotiate the percentages"

TB's is part of a powerful Union. At the new OTB;s in NJ the supervisors learn to fix the terminals. At OTB NYC when a terminal breaks you call the maintainence dept. Which comes in from LI in a vehicle that is serviced by another Union. Then they load the machine fring it to a service area have another Union guy un load and load it back onto a truck and bring it back 3 days later on OT. Its just the way things work and racing simply can't afforf the ridiculous process.

Fire all the employees at NYCOTB and eliminate that organization. They are the cause of this problem. I have written my senator expressing this solution.

And why is this new guy being paid $125,000 a month to screw breeders, owners, and tracks ?

Richard do you know what Union reps the majority of OTB's employees?
