Clarification: there is a limit of open items the arbitrator will rule on. I believe it is 20 items. I think all other unresolved issues revert back to the old language. I say "think" because I'm relying on my memory so take it for what it's worth.

Would you happen to know what the 20 items are? Could new hires look forward to hotel and per diem in training or is that still unknown?

20 items per side. So there could be a total of 40 items to be decided upon in arbitration.

I was told it was 20 from both so they have to agree on the 20 items

Nope. It can be as many as 20 from each side. Some issues can overlap, but they don't have to.

I think each side agreeing to the 20 items would be an absolute impossibility at this point. Another common misconception is that it's like 'baseball arbitration', which it's not. The arbitrator can pick a side or he can go with 'industry standard'.

Sounds like new hire classes to start soon.

I'd be curious how many people in the pool are still interested after a year in it.

Anywho...Welcome aboard.

This is all true.

No way to know what the 20 items will be until direct and/or mediated negotiations are complete. At that point, each side will look at the items that are not agreed to, and pick the 20 that are most important to them.
