Because the INT'L does not want it. They want to appease the company because they fear BK. And because they don't have the NADS to strike.why hasn't your union ask for a 30 day count down?
From March 2010: "The Transport Workers Union has formally asked the National Mediation Board via letter Thursday to release it into a 30-day cooling-off period. That would start the strike clock ticking for American Airlines. However, there's no indication that the NMB will grant the request. American on Wednesday night said it expects mediator Terri Brown to announced Thursday that she was scheduling additional sessions."
The new contract will be approved at todays meeting. Phat Don fired up the printing press in his garage.
