Union leader might get voted out. All that just to basically agree to the same deal the mayor offered from the jump. A $40 a week increase in pay

Yikes.

He's definitely cooked, the last thing you can do is fold without getting anything additional as a union leader after having everyone miss checks. You made the block hot, literally, and ended up having your bluff called.

Easier to pay one man off than everybody, and he took the check.
