Ken,

I'm not sure what you are talking about concerning the Swiss harness.  I and
many others use it and think it a good product.  In fact, I find I have a
better feel of the dog's movements with it.

However, the harness issue is not relevant to the union question.  I know
for a fact that the training and research departments studied the harness
quite a bit prior to deciding to introduce it.

This has to do with injuries in the training department.  While I would 
ordinarily be on the union's side because of safety issues, this one's an 
internal problem that needs to be worked out between GDB staff.  There does 
appear to be a morale problem at the school.  In fact, this question could 
split forever the Oregon and San Raphael schools.  There is this point also.

The safety of the students is not considered.  Think I'm wrong?  try the 
Swiss harness and tell me I'm wrong.
