I find it crazy that this isn’t required to be fixed prior to the end date.
Our contracts to do not expire. They are amendable. So we continue under our current contract until we negotiate a new contract. This is all part of the fantastic Railway Labor Act (RLA). So hold on!!!

our contract never expires. Instead, they are written with an amendable date so we continue to work under that contract until a new one is signed with a new amenable date. the railway labor act doesn’t allow us to have an expired contract or we could immediately strike like public unions do.
