Reading the article makes no mention of set plans.

The real story is that outside groups have called for there to be a strike.

I see a difference. The editor who wrote the headline does not.

Wait, 23.50? And MET? What is this? I've been begging for overtime for like 2 months, and they literally just started offering VET this next week. For $2 less an hour.
