ALA5KA MANAGEMENT DID THIS TO YOU! Take it out on them! WE MUST WORK TOGETHER FOR CONTRACT 2020! Otherwise we are doomed.
This is why SLI arbitrations should be done "baseball style" whereas each side makes a proposal and the arbitrator is forced to pick the most reasonable/logical one.
It would force each group to recognize the value that the other side brings to the operation instead of each side demonizing each other.
It brings the arguments internal to each group on what they should propose, always keeping an eye on defensibility and reasonableness.
This system encourages much lingering animosity from both sides as they propose the most egregious proposals, and work justify them with emotion and lack of deference towards the other side which will soon be their copilots.
