[QUOTE="BrownMonk, post: 3512506, member: 66576"] There is a difference between the airplane mechanics and us. They are under the RLA (Railway Labor Act) and we are under the NLRA (National Labor Relations Act) and both have different rules. The RLA (Fedex,railroads and airlines) requires additional steps before any Union can strike including cooling off periods, required mediation, etc. which stalls any possible job action. That is why all the airlines contracts go over their expiration for years. The Companies just extend things out on the timeline that is protected by law. They don't get serious until they are through those steps. We may go over a month or so but there will be a job action soon after. The membership will demand it. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump stepped in and claimed it a national issue and stops the strike though. [/QUOTE]
