no.mediator can’t make a suggestion at table - only in one on one talks (“you’d better do this…”). Only NC or LR can propose. Mediator always puts pressure on sides but when LR is slowly raising pay rates ( if they are) that’s not tosi, that’s Robertson.
in this case it IS the NC proposal. Else they could have rejected it.
