So which is it? will Parker by amr or does this "deal" horton has with the pilot's torpedo the deal? Make up your minds
You say the Parker and the UCC are in "constant contact" regarding a "substantial offer", yet also note it requires "locked-in" labor costs.
That's absolutely correct, no one knows what Horton's plan will look like yet. Will it be the latest offer, will it be abrogated contracts? We don't know so we (and ucc) can't compare.
That means labor isn't part of that nexus and in fact, are NOT players but bystanders.
But labor costs definitely are, and until we know what those will be, Horton's plan cannot be compared against parkers
His "labor" will be you and me and if the TA passes, you will then just join the rest of us bystanders under a CBA that will make your knees buckle with horror.
Of the merger happens, our contract will be the pre-negotiated term sheet, not the contract you are voting on now.
