Let's solve this disagreement now. It does NOT say 6 months prior to the amendable date of our PWA. Here is the language.
Section 28
A. Effective Date and Duration
Except as expressly provided otherwise, this agreement will become effective on July 1, 2012, will continue in full force and effect through December 31, 2015, and will renew itself without change through each succeeding December 31st, unless written notice of intended change is served in accordance with Section 6, Title I, of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, by either party here to at least 60 days but no more than 270 days prior to December 31, 2015 or December 31st in any year thereafter. In the absence of an agreement by March 31, 2016, the parties agree to jointly petition the National Mediation Board for mediation services.
270 days prior to Dec 31, 2015 is what date?
