USAPA has officially requested arbitration in two separate venues, the D.C. District Court and directly to the NMB. APA and AAG have requested SCS determination from the NMB. The NMB is not bound by the MOU. Section 13 of AM LPPs deviates from MOU regarding when arbitration can commence. MOU says not until JCBA while AM says we are already there.
Which document supersedes the other, MOU or MB?
Does District Court trump the NMB?
Who enforces the MOU?
Can the D.C. Court decision be appealed?
How long will litigation take if one party appeals?
Can an SCS determination by the NMB be challenged by USAPA?
Can an early arbitration decision from the NMB be challenged by APA/AAG?
Other than that I think I have a pretty good handle on all this.
