As I understand one of the grievances has already made it to arbitration around sept. that covers around 500 grievances. Well? Did we win?
Normally after the actual arbitration hearing the arbitrator takes all the evidence/testimony and spends several weeks to make a ruling. A decision is almost never made that day. After his/her ruling there’s now some back and forth on a remedy based on the ruling. I’m guessing a ruling and/or remedy has not been made on that particular arbitration yet. If the company ignores the arbitrator’s ruling that’s when a lawsuit can be filed.
