Route66,
It really boils down to two choices:
1) the company provides us with an ILC to which I'll vote in favor for,
2) or, they pass us another turd floating in a bowl to which I'll gladly take my chances in arbitration.
I've been here 15 years and know their M.O. And now they're raking in amazing profits. Sorry, but anything less than an ILC doesn't cut it. They want arbitration, bring it on...then they have to deal with the consequences.
