AOL has been preemptively claiming victory preceding the Addincton case, the 9th Court of Appeals, and now the Silver DJ case....Guess what!! Nic is still shelved.
Ask yourself this, if the Nic award is FEDERALLY BINDING, how come the 9th and now Silver, will NOT mandate its use??
Let me enlighten you, if I may. It is because Federal courts do not like to INTERVENE in internal union matters!! USAPA is free to negotiate!! Again I repeat...SENIORITY is a UNION matter!! The Co. is using the hollow threat of a co-joined DFR suit to drag this issue until eternity. If a deal between AA/US materialises, our little squabble will amount to a pile of beans..
