Happy Turkey day to all!

If that is true that is so very wrong and you are right, it promotes self preservation to the point of never ruling against the union.
I would hope in the next collective bargaining contract the owners take that off the table and tell the union to go "f" themselves. Arbitrators are supposed to be 100% neutral and therefore that is why they can moderate and make unbiased decisions. This would stack the cards heavily in the unions favor....... not right.
I am pro union but abuses such as these are what give unions bad names.
