Mouthful of stuff to say and easy to get lost in the legal crap. I didn't do a great job on it and it wasn't very well explained before in the Chairman's Update 6-19-2018. It's still up on the union site if you want to cross check me or you can try to make the Atlas/Southern call that was recently changed to July 24 if you check your email. I'm sure it will come up again there or just ask on the call.
So yes, there is still a company lawsuit against us unless something more recent changed that.
Sudden,
The lawsuit was concluded months ago. In fact, the very Chairman’s update that you cited provides the dates for when the Atlas and Southern arbitration hearings with regard to Section 6 VS successorship will be heard. Again, this just makes it seem like you aren’t fully aware of what’s actually going on at the moment at Atlas.
