How will we change the contracts to allow this/will this be an opt out allowed? 2. How will we track those that do not agree with this and what recourse do they have? 3. Most importantly, with those plans is it worth being in the market here? Until those issues are hashed out, and they likely won't start (at least nothing more than hypotheticals) until they have finished negotiations, pulling the store only makes sense.
