For clarity: The NMB only declares an impasse. The last mediated negotiating session ended 2 days early because the mediator could see no further point in negotiating further…essentially an “impasse”. There is no chance we will end up with a contract that gets anything more than a basic majority. The first TA will end in a majority No vote…The second will squeak by and it will be back to the same old song and dance
