Hi everyone. I'm looking for some info. on current contract negotiations at Republic. I read on APC that a strike is authorized, but I can't find any info. on time-frame and how far along the contract negotiations are (or are not). I'm well aware of the pay and work rules so I don't need a re-hash of other threads on this site. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on with the contract and what a new-hire would expect over the next few years in terms of the negotiations taking place.

Besides pay, are there any major sticking points on this contract?
Is the fence between shuttle, chatauqua, and republic under discussion?
Any other pertinent CONTRACT info you think a potential new hire should know?

Thanks!
