Neither does Donatelli. It was just pure emotional rage. All the bogeymen from the NMB to a PEB that his head was filled with just came rushing out of his pie hole.

For the record, a PEB is only convened after an impasse is declared, a strike has been authorized, and the 30 day cooling off period is near end. Then a PEB only adds another 30 day cooling off period after which the President can no longer stop a strike. PEB authority finished. Outside of a strike or settlement between the parties, the only other option is Congress writing legislation stopping the strike and writing the terms of the new contract. A PEB is a very small player in the process.
