That is way more than normal.

Look at what's going on at WN.

You really need the look at how negotiations work.

yeah because the IAM/TWU has shown nothing but speed in this deal *rolls eyes* 
 
but its never the IAM, its everyone else.

What held up negotiations?

The NMB making its determination.

You really have a hard on for the IAM and the TWU.

What held up negotiations was/is the AFL-CIO. If the IAM had simply stepped aside as the TWU was/is the majority union, we probably would not be in this mess. That did not happen since the AFL-CIO did not want to see an expenditure of cash with these two unions fighting over membership dues. Long gone are the days of a union bettering the workers work-life. Now it is all about the dues money and the unions political agenda, members be damned.

No, the IAM not bowing out has held it all up.

Did LAA and LUS stop talking and planning while waiting for the DOJ's decision?  You are the one always making excuses for the association.Are you saying there was no infighting at the association and that didn'tcontribute to the delay?

It was nice when a certain someone was in the cornfield. It would be even nicer if this someone would go back to the cornfield.
