If negotiations between union and employer are not settled within 90 days, it goes to mandatory Federal arbitration. Why would unions settle with a deal like that? Granted that it's not the power to _negate_ a contract, but if they start forcing a contract, it's pretty close.

Quote: "Here's the problem," Mr. Obama said, "It's almost like they've got -- they've got a bomb strapped to them and they've got their hand on the trigger. You don't want them to blow up. But you've got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger." Talk to a suicide bomber !! When has that ever worked ? My advice to President Obama: "Don't do it sir, it will all end in tears and with your teleprompter blown to bits" On second thoughts go ahead..need any help setting up the teleprompter ? :) .
