Being granted a release could also involve the political scene and flavor of the time. I’m encouraged with the current three person NMB panel. The chair and one other member have had ties to unions in the past. Not a sure indicator, but better odds of having a more sympathetic view toward unionized labor..
Waterski once again said it well WRT Republic.
Here's a post I made about a month ago about mediation time and why some unions end up staying in mediation for way longer than they need to.
