It never ceases to amaze me that there are people that get paid to negotiate contracts with a set deadline and a heads up as to what might be a sticking point.

And for whatever reason they choose to shut the country down. Management and union folk working on this should have their asses kicked hard.

Essential service. Legislate them back.

**Oliver88** · Feb 10, 2015, 22:06

Yes, this should be an essential service.

Get them back to work.

When does the demmurage clock start ticking and who$e paying?

**bucket** · Feb 10, 2015, 22:16

Considering they are not meeting the weekly targets of 650000 tonnes missing them by 100000 tonnes - chances are the demurage is racking up quite nicely.

Lets Study it Some More!!!!!!!!!!

Shhhh, listen...... can you hear the basis widening?

Okay, now what are the guys supposed to do who need cash flow and face the possibility of a wider basis in the future due to "circumstances beyond their control". Damned poor marketers they are, eh!!!!

**Braveheart** · Feb 10, 2015, 22:28

If they didn't have some, at least some, decent basis locked in for the near future, let's just say, they could have done better.

**farmaholic** · Feb 10, 2015, 22:37

Brave, if this lasts too long it may result in wider basis further out than anyone who "did do better" planned for. That may well be you too....
