You do know that "grievances, mediations, and arbitrations" are the NORMAL mechanisms that unions use to enforce contracts - Gee...
Why is your first response to all problems in the employee/employer conflict SUE. You are aware of the fact that LCAL management would agree to every contract the LCAL guys signed, only to litigate everything they agreed to. The current pilot group and ALPA has been very effective at mitigating this post merger but it is still there.
