That's with fancy lawyers representing us, I am not a teamster fan, I was just point out facts, something this forum doesn't like to acknowledge.
Can our MEC not outline career expectations? There are only a few people in the US that can arbitrate integrations, you don't think they have heard it all? I have been through a merger, have you?

You cant be this clueless...you seriously cant.
An arbitrator is a judge. Are you seriously taking the extremely misguided position that a judge's opinion can not be swayed by the argument made by a lawyer?
Maybe Republic got spanked in their merger because you had cruddy lawyers; but that doesn't make sense to you because all lawyers are equal in your mind an unable to present a compelling argument to a arbitrator (judge).
You are a new FO here and looking at a 4-5 year upgrade at least anyways. Pay your $30 and maybe you will still see the left seat if we merger in the next 4-5 years. Cant believe you don't realize that you may be in the right seat for a LONG time if a merger goes bad and odds are, we will merger before you upgrade in 2020.
....wait....you dont think its 2.5 year upgrade or a 3 year for you...do you..please tell me Jyri didn't sell you on that.
I've schooled you enough today. Pay your $30 and be quiet, you don't like it, i'm sure Republic is hiring. God I love the fact you have zero say in the assessment being taken out of your check and I hope you get angry every time you see that $30 being taken out, furiously angry
