I think that was true only for the bankruptcy LOAs.
This is what's still in our contract:
The Association and the Company will jointly engage [person or firm to be jointly
31 determined following appropriate joint review and interview process], to facilitate their
32 agreement to this recovery compact based upon recent research and experience, to
33 include:
34 a. building a positive workplace culture and environment, and
35 b. improving employee-management and cross-functional/cross-occupational
36 coordination, flexibility, cooperation and conflict resolution with a goal of high
37 levels of performance.

6 openness of each group to the ideas of the other; and reduction of conflict between
7 employee groups.
Nothing "enforceable" in there, but its still the foundation of Moakism and "constructive engagement" to this day.
