3.E.3. If such negotiations do not result in agreement executed within 90 days from the date of the parties first meeting, either party may submit the dispute to expedited final and binding interest arbitration before a Five Member System Board of Adjustment under Section 19. The award of the Five Member System Board of Adjustment must be rendered within 60 days following submission of the dispute unless the parties agree otherwise.
You can't ever bind a third party not involved in a negotiation. I meant to say arbitrator. The arbitrator is not bound by our contract. The company showed up as did Dalpa and met all timelines. We await the arbitrators decision and he is not under any obligation from our contract. DALPA pointed this out in a recent communication.
