And just last month SWAPA filed for federal mediation with the National Mediation Board.So on today's show we talked to NC chair, Jody Reven and NC members, Damian Jennette, and Kurt Heidemann about what that means for the future of negotiations, how it affects the membership and what's to come next.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at [email protected] or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737
