Manage to finagle
The way it's written makes it hard for me to understand. Can you please explain me what is "finagle" here? - finagle that weekends off, I'm sure it's like a breaking from working time.
And also "weekends off" to what related weekend off? it seems like something is missing...
What does it mean to "to take a weekend off"?
They did manage to finagle that weekends off? Well yes. The unions did give us weekends off, but don't think you're goanna take this weekend off. Oh, we don't, but we'll get overtime pay, and that's because of the unions.

Palabra They did manage to finagle that weekends off? That is just bad grammar unless 'weekends off' should really be within quotation marks to indicate that the phrase represents one term of the contract negotiations—which I think is the intent. 'That' then refers to the term as previously mentioned or indicated.
