First, it's not arbitration it's mediation. Second AH and the MEC just got an ALPA Major Contingency Fund grant for info picketing, family awareness and STRIKE prep. MCF funds are grants and not loans; the MEC doesn't have to ever pay it back (what's used). It's a powerful tool.

Sorry not everything goes on your schedule or timeline. Do you volunteer? Show up at LEC or MEC meetings? Vote in council elections? Or just say things here you really don't understand?

Peace out.

So tell me...what have his plans been so far? And how has that been working out for you?
His words are utterly meaningless and always have been. You are a fool if you choose to believe otherwise.

I'll be damned, maybe he has some fight in him. Still though, getting out of the regionals will better serve you.
And if there's something I don't understand, chances are that most of the pilot group doesn't understand it and that's the unions fault for not educating the pilot group. Guess it's easier to make snide remarks

Arbitration

noun
1.
the hearing and determining of a dispute or the settling of differences between parties by a person or persons chosen or agreed to by them:
Rather than risk a long strike, the union and management agreed to arbitration.

Mediation
noun
1.
action in mediating between parties, as to effect an agreement or reconciliation.

Not significantly different semantically but in our business it's different. It's not called the National Arbitration Board.

There you go. We arbitrate grievances and mediate contracts. Clear as mud?

You need to educate the pilot group on how everything works from getting elected, who votes for the MEC to what powers the union has at its disposal. You need to have this information available, concise, written in english, etc. Obviously the pilot group needs to meet you halfway. Until then, you are all self serving politicians in the eyes of the vast majority. Telling us to read the railroad labor act, to volunteer, etc doesn't cut it. The union needs to get coaching from a PR firm, and all of you should read a book called, "How To Win Friends and Influence People"
And I need to self educate on this union thing.

What's not arbitration? Are you saying pilot unions and companies don't go to binding arbitration when they can't come to an agreement?

See above.

Halfway would be awesome but virtually all this stuff has been in Hotlines and MEC emails. It's discussed in forums here on APC, so I guess without spoon-feeding it's always going to be a mystery.

When the union meets with the NMB, it's Mediation. When the union meets for grievance resolution it's with an Arbitrator. I guess it's a distinction but with a subtle difference.

Right. But both are avenues to conflict resolution/contractual agreements and used for labor disputes. Like the 50 seater base pay arbitration we lost. It just sounded like you were saying arbitration isn't applicable to the pilot group.
