On Thursday I posted an entry about the strike against Waste Management in King and Snohomish counties. I had no inside information about the walkout. My knowledge of it was based on reports in the local media. Still that didn’t stop me from writing more than 500 words expressing my observations. Later that afternoon, after Waste Management agreed to return to the bargaining table, the union instructed its members to return to work on Friday. That doesn’t mean the two sides will reach an agreement, but it does get the strike off the front page. It also made me question the wisdom of commenting on fluid breaking-news stories.
The tide goes out, but it comes back in again.
