That's assuming the company feels compelled to abide by the arbitrators ruling. They can easily just ignore it and tell us to sue them if we want. That buys them another year or 2 until we can take them to federal court.
Meanwhile the NEA keeps chugging along and they can then throw us another bone 18 months from now to try and get a 50.1% pass vote. Problem solved on their end and now we get a 2.5% raise, an "enhanced" FLICA waiting room and something like increasing PTO accrual another :15 per month for our troubles....
