It seems you have several decisions mixed up - there was no arbitrator involved in the resolution of the strike and Sims merely dealt with the collective agreement.

I'm over fifty years out of kindergarten. With a "t" not a "d." Your problem is that you are smart but you don't realize other people are not stupid

The International agitated pickets, causing CN to lock us out, complain to the gov't and then we were forced back to work with an elite International team of negotiators. The membership voted down the proposed agreement and Simms awarded CN the proposal.

It's too late to get me to change my vote. Union officials have some power over me but I have this over them.

The arbiter did not sustain the position of the UTU International president but you folks are going to great lengths to apologize and cover up what he did and what you did.
