"Funding was lacking, which precluded a contentious negotiation with the certified union. After numerous attempts to resolve issues, very little headway was made. I turned the lead over to Jeff and within short order a contract was reached. Jeff is knowledgeable, factual and cool under pressure. Most of all, he is very persuasive in his negotiations and eloquent in his interchange. He recognizes there needs to be a win–win, but is able to hold the line when necessary."
