OK, For those of us on the outside (I was previous ALPA so understand how the system works but some will not) how did it get to this point? Do you not have to actually negoitated? Been in mediation? Gotten released from mediation? Gotten to a "Cooling off point"? Etc.? has these steps already happened or is this ALPA trying to take a stand to show management "WE MEAN BUSINESS"? Not flaming but confused!!!
Thx,

Umm, we've been in negotiations and mediation for quite a long time. The Chairman of the Mediation Board is personally going to oversee this weeks final get together w/ management. Nothing else is even scheduled after this week. This a vote to authorize a strike. Doesn't mean it will happen. Sends a message to management that if they don't come to terms soon, the release might be around the corner.

It's been a long road, and it's been discussed a lot on this forum and in the media. I'm surprised you're confused...
