I wish it were that simple
I have no such quest to get to self help. My quest is to start negotiations early so as to achieve a new contract by the amendable date. The methodology that I and others have stated are clear.
A proffer of arbritration is just that...a proffer. All one side has to do is say no, and it's done. When it comes to binding arbitration, I would hope our side would be the one to say no, and quickly.
