The simple hard truth is that this is not an NMB proceeding. It is a greivance which has gone to the System Board of Adjustment consisting of a neutral arbitrator, a compny representative and a union representative. The NMB makes no ruling.
I have to agree. NMB is not a part of this
Interesting then that the names of the arbitrators are on a list maintained by the NMB located
Here. Who does the arbitrator work for if not for the National Mediation Board?
I have to disagree with you both. The NMB is intimately involved in this dispute and the single carrier status, which should have nullified the continuation of this grievance, will have significant impact on the decision. In any case I have heard it is already done.
