Ha! When you have the mediator saying to your face-

“The Company moved a lot and you’re not budging. Either negotiate in good faith or I will put you on ice for 6 months - your call”

You don’t have a lot of options. This is clearly the most money the NC thought they could reasonably grab without delaying this thing another year.

I don’t believe the contract is perfect or great by any means. There are GAPING holes in healthcare and workrules. But in the end it’s a negotiation, not a Delta or bust demand.

For the record, I haven’t voted yet.
