Unfortunately, IMHO many CAL guys are worried that, post ISL, their career progression will come to a grinding halt and that is precisely why they feel that there is no hurry to get to the ISL process. What do I expect the ISL outcome will be for me you ask? I have said from the beginning of this merger that, if it is done fairly, no one on either side will be very happy about it. Bottom line, I will respect the arbitration panel's ruling.
Most do want the ISL done, if for no other reason than to get out from under smisedicks thumb. But we also want a contract we have been waiting for 8 years for to be done and done right.
