He’s not going to clean sheet a deal, or not include the Union leadership. Activating what Union and company leadership already agreed to is a slam dunk for a judge, why wade any further out into a mess. No judge wants to be in the weeds of a contract or risk a labor over reaction.
It’s a free no vote the members, but possibly inevitable for their future.
The judge’s choice is binary. He can impose the company 1113 proposal or he can reject the company’s 1113 proposal. There is no third choice letting the judge rewrite portions of the CBA as he sees best.
