Oldie you are wrong once again, the negotiations that have taken place in all the labor groups are not section 6 negotiations, go read the railway labor act and you might understand.
Yes the company and union can agree to open an agreement at anytime, but it does not fall under section 6 of the RLA unless the contract is 60 days before the amendable date. That is why there was no mediation, no 30 day cooling off period, the inability to strike if an agreement was not reached and the inability of the bush administration to invoke a PEB.
