Update on Wage Adjustment Arbitration Case – LAA/LUS

We realize everyone is anxious to hear of a decision regarding the Wage Adjustment Arbitration that took place in January 2017; however, the arbitration panel did not issue a final ruling today. As disappointed as we all are, APFA legal has advised us that this is not unexpected. Although the Union pushed for a fixed deadline for a final decision, the chairperson of the arbitration panel ruled against setting an exact ruling deadline.

The panel, in January, ultimately set a target date of approximately 90 days as an estimate for when we could expect a decision. Today marks the 90th day, but at this point, a final ruling has not been rendered. We do know that all parties are meeting in confidential executive sessions, and working towards the final ruling. 

We expect it to be issued at some point within the next few weeks. We will let you know immediately upon its issuance, and we will update you as we get new information. Please know that your Union and its legal team are continuing to do everything possible to expedite the announcement of a decision.
