Got some new info.
The alternative hearing instead of just suing the Polar MEC and Strike Breakers Committee has closed. Decisions to follow. Only one Polar guy showed up and he ended up testifying
for the Atlas crew members along with Duane Woerth ex ALPA president. Guess they will make the Polar "snake list." I'll try and get the transcripts. I have the Atlas presentation, but I have to work at getting it up on here first. Kind of a funky format that I'm having trouble converting for web display. I'll try and get that out later. Don't have any physical evidence offered by Polar. Just testimony from the one that attended that would be on the transcripts. That was in favor of Atlas anyway.
Lets see, the Polar MEC forms a strike breakers committee and files about 180 Article VIII's on Atlas crewmembers which fails. At a later hearing brought by those accused by Polar, the Polar MEC doesn't have the time or the will to shake someone loose to attend and testify for the Polar MEC or the Strike Breakers Committee.
Not even the time to have someone testify by phone which was acceptable. Pretty much says it all. Complete BS used by Bobb Henderson to defray attention from his mistakes and put it on Atlas crew members.
I believe the arbitration to find if the the Company merger grievance can be put into priority above the others due to the merger has concluded. Arbiter findings are not out yet. That will probably be a while.
Polar filed another grievance over the Holden arbitration trying to get A/C and jobs back to Polar from Atlas again.
