I heard the May 1rst rumor too, but i think it was just a bad guess. This time we have been given a specific date from an official union communication.
I'm not an English major, but this sentence says to me that we are supposed to have a decision by May 15th.
From the union email:
Unless the merger representatives are able to reach a deal on their own, Mr. Bloch will render a decision, in his role as an Arbitrator, and will be charged with awarding an Integrated Seniority List. Mr. Bloch will have up to 30 days (starting from April 15th) to render a final and binding decision.
