Union picket boss Bill Steele confirmed to me this morning that the strike has ended without any concessions from the workers. When I pressed him to name at least one "win" for the city he suggested his 36 days of lost pay was a concession.

Of course, you perhaps hadn't thought that perhaps the union needs to spin this as a success either did you...
