CAT Tracks for October 14, 2017
IT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY |
With apologies to The Beatles:
From CAT Tracks
POSTSCRIPT:
And if you were wondering, we did not go through the whole year without a new agreement.
On April Fool's Day (no joke) of 1998, a new contract was ratified, and we lived happily ever after...
...until all hell broke loose in 2001-2002.
For that bedtime story, well, you'll just have to wait for the next 20th anniversary celebation...
...or check out the CAT Tracks Preserving History Project, specifically the 17 Days That Will Live in Infamy link.
As the history project's borrowed subtitle indicates, the CAT Tracks archives contain accounts of:
"The Best of Times...The Worst of Times"
Well, the negotiations/strike of 2001-2002 was definitely one of "the times that tried CAT's souls"...
...but by staying unified, maybe spending one of those "9 lives", CAT landed on its feet.
Solidarity forever!
It was twenty years ago today
CAT Tracks joined the digital highway
It's been going in and out of style
But it's guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
CAT Tracks first digital edition...
