Or, could I do all of the above and report the events as they happen, sans editing by either side?
I’m not so interested in the former, which is where we are now, but WAY in on the latter.
When did we start caring what a Mediator or Arbitrator “orders” anyway?

The Mediator and NMB, make the rules. That is what you get when you go to the Government for mediation. You give up a lot when you get to this point in the process. You give up scheduling of meetings. You give up the choice of location of the meetings. You give up flow of information because the NMB says keep you mouth shut or we will put you on ice.
Are you getting the picture now? These are the consequences of going to the NMB. But it is ultimately the path you must take when the company is refusing to make a worthwhile proposal. Go to anyone who knows how negotiations work. Nothing gets done till a deadline is put in place. Look at the NFL refs, they will get a contract when the NFL realizes that their product is getting lousy. Their deadline is coming soon.
So, you still want to be a communications guy? I know some people who could make it happen.
