This is why we should be informational picketing... We should not have ceded this issue to arbitration when we had a better forum to fight this fight for jobs; in public.
If we lose the arbitration (and I tend to think we will) then we will be angry, but our public options are limited by the fact we pushed the process to a loss and the public will want us to respect the process.
