ALLEGHENY-MOHAWK LABOR PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS, MAY 1971
59 C.A.B.45 SECTIONS 3 AND 13
SECTION 3.
Insofar as the merger affects the seniority rights of the carriers employees, provisions shall be made
for the integration of seniority lists in a fair and equitable manner, including, where applicable,
agreement through collective bargaining between the carriers and the representatives of the
employees affected. In the event of failure to agree, the dispute may be submitted by either party for
adjustment in accordance with section 13.
SECTION 13.
(a) In the event that any dispute or controversy (except as to matters arising under section 9) arises
with respect to the protections provided herein which cannot be settle by the parties within 20 days
after the controversy arises, it may be referred by any party to an arbitrator selected from a panel of
seven names furnished by the National Mediation Board for consideration and determination. The
parties shall select the arbitrator from such panel by alternatively striking names until only one
remains, and he shall serve as arbitrator. Expedited hearings and decisions will be expected, and a
decision shall be rendered within 90 days after the controversy arises, unless an extension of time it
is mutually agreeable to all parties. The salary and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne equally
by the carrier and (i) the organization or organizations representing employee or employees or (ii) if
unrepresented, the employee or employees or group or groups of employees. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
(b.) The above condition shall not apply if the parties by mutual agreement determine that an
alternative method for dispute settlement or an alternative procedure for selection of an arbitrator
is appropriate in their particular dispute. No party shall be excused from complying with the above
condition by reason of having suggested an alternative method or procedure unless and until that
alternative method or procedure shall have been agreed to by all parties.
Unless both parties agree to extend, arbitration could start in only 3 weeks!
Finally, discussions of previous actual SWA mergers and attempted buyouts are also probably not good topics for discussion because the AirTran/SWA merger is very different in nature. Please don't even respond to trollers that insist that SWAPA will only accept a staple integratoin.
And here it is, FTB - the fifth post. I am hoping for something good. The moderator is already here, dude! Don't leave me hangin'!
The answer is simple. Unless management had given SWAPA a possible veto on the integration it is out of SWAPA's hands. Without question it will go to binding arbitration under the the current law. It will take a year at least and it will be arbitrated.
Just to clarify, you have to have two seperate conversations going on here so while yes there must be a technical point there must also be a Sarah Evans point. This is the LUV/AAI SLI & Sarah Evans thread now. The two most coexist better than her husband, otherwise, it gets moved.
