If the APA were smart, which I don't believe they are, they will provide a cost comparison with what the company offered and what they roughly think they'll get with arbitration and let YOU DECIDE for yourself.
Now, is THAT unreasonable?
I don't think it's about the $$$ value.
There is no price you can put on job security.
SCOPE! SCOPE! SCOPE!
