For the PNCL guys and ALPA. The most important thing right now is a new contract for you. I could be selfish and wish you do not get a new contract till after the merger so it is our contract too but that is not right.
You have been dealing with this for too long. You will never get strike authorization with the current administration but you should be getting creative on ways to get your voice hear, it is cold season afterall.
i don't know. you tell the arbitrator to go pound sand and that they will ignore his ruling is pretty big deal. you through that in with them not negotiating in good faith and making our mediator mad, and i think we might have a chance at being released. i am keeping my fingers crossed. i wrote on another board that i think we will have this all wrapped up by the end of this year. we will either have a contract and everything will be fine, or we will have shut the place down. i think things have come to a head now, and there are only a few options left to make this drag on any more than it has.
