That would be true just got the memo from ASA MEC and ALPA national. It basically will allow a panel of 3 people to "decide" a contract and should either party choose not to accept it in comes the 30 day cooling off period. At that point "super-mediation" sessions take place and at 0001 on day 31 it is strike time. With that being said - I want to say thank you to whoever pushed this it is about time.
Is this binding arbitration ????
What if management accepts the offer of arbitration. How long does all that drag out ??? Another year or so ??
