But during that process, besides <br /> 8 the different articles or sections in the collective <br /> 9 bargaining agreement, wages and salaries are a focus <br /> 10 piece for most of the bargaining units . So that <br /> 11 negotiation process involves employer putting forth <br /> 12 their proposals, union putting forth their proposals <br /> 13 so they can come to some agreement on each of the <br /> 14 proposals . And if we are unable to resolve, we would <br /> 15 typically submit to interest arbitration, and that, in <br /> 16 itself, is another process . The arbitrator would then <br /> 17 render a decision. We will take that decision <br /> 18 forward to the counsel for funding, and once funded, <br /> 19 we then execute the decision. <br /> 20 I hope that summarizes it, but if there is a <br /> 21 question in there that I can be more specific to, <br /> 22 please let me know. <br /> 23 MS .
