See we wont settle for anything less than what was issued in arbitration. The east has more than ample time to settle prior to even going to mediation much less arbitration. They remind me of my children who are now all grown and have kids of their own. They actually believe that they make a poor decision and then be rewarded for that poor decision and why they are not then throw a tantrum.

Acceptance and move on is our ONLY settlement out west or we battle on until the courts make a finial decision or management forces them to honor our deal.
