Now an upstanding union would do that automatically, we are giving the apa the benefit of the doubt and waiting until Silvers mandate. Now the company ran to Silver and filed a suit claiming they were "neutral" and would accept whatever seniority list she told them was the legal list, the 9th just said the Nic should have been the list(lus side), the company has their answer. Follow me here, the contract requires the nic. now because what usapa did was illegal. The west has a lot of legal and arbitration firepower with the 9ths decision but that is not all, dfr 1 and company dj are all part of the record. You have to separate the sli and contract requirements.
