Arbitration Hearings Conclude

Good or bad, this is what we get:

* – * – * – * – *

On Wednesday, April 25, the parties completed their interest arbitration hearings before the arbitration panel chaired by neutral arbitrator, Jack Clarke.  After completing presentations on compensation and health care proposals, the parties each addressed proposals on standards, mail count, EMA, and other proposals.  The parties spent a total of 26 days in hearing.

After receipt of post-hearing briefs in early May, the arbitration panel will meet to decide the terms of a successor contract to the 2006-2010 National Agreement.

We will advise as soon as the arbitration panel renders its award.  Thank you for your support during the last five months.
