After all, there was a lot of mutually beneficial horsetrading in our merger.
Bucking, I was joking in that post. You can't restrict anything in section 6 negotiations under the railway labor act. When you do a full section 6 operner everything is on the table. We as a union can set our priorities but arriving at the table and saying we refuse to discuss a specific section of the contract would not fly with the NMB.
