Binding arbitration doesn't mean "unless we don't like it".
No one will ever forget what has happened here.
Don't read more into this than there is. The ONLY legal body that cannot be overturned is the US Supreme Court. Until you've been there, your case is never really finished. Since this case has not been there, it's not yet settled.
More than anything, this is a shot across the bow of arbitration panels. If you go too far off the path of past precedent, you may well get overturned. This is a good thing folks. Arbitrators tend to think they are gods. They just found out they are not.
