This way you can guide, in some measure, the direction of the arbitration, avoid some nasty surprises, and you can still perform blame evasion at the end and say "that was the arbitrator's decision".

My guess is that they're not negotiating, as such, but rather both sides are stipulating to the way certain items are considered, and then letting the arbitrators determine the final numbers.

I actually think about now is when any real negotiating will start to occur. The arbitrators will certainly be signalling where they are going with this and giving both sides a chance to have some say in the final outcome via a negotiated list instead of zero say via an arbitrated list.

Do you think there is pressure from management to get it done by the 8th? Seems like in the past, other arbitrated list decisions have been pushed back several times. I don't even know if that's an option. Just curious if anyone knows.
