Axel said:Technically, under the RLA the contract does not expire; it becomes amenable. In order for it to be ammended, one party must serve the other, within a specified time frame geared to the amenable date specified in the contract, with notice of the intent to do so. Service of this notice, referred to as "section 6" notice, triggers the collective bargaining process.
I believe, but am not certain, that the window opens 120 days and closes 90 days prior to the amenable date. If the window for service of the notice passes without service, the contract remains in effect until the window reopens the next year.
As we are all painfully aware, the collective bargaining process typically drags on for years. During that time, and until the NMB releases the parties to "self help," both parties are required to abide by the contract.
