162 (Seth Kornblum and Dave Kudish, Arbitrations)

Today’s SWAPA Number is 162.  That’s the number of open grievances the Contract Admin Committee has on file which are awaiting a resolution.  It’s been a while since SWAPA has been able to bring a denied grievance to arbitration, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the reluctance of arbitrators to schedule in-person hearings, and the Company’s refusal to meet in-person.  

However, when arbitrations do resume, there are a lot of problems with the process that will make it difficult to put a meaningful dent in the large number. 

So, on today’s episode we’re sitting down to discuss some of those issues with Contract Admin Committee Chair Seth Kornblum and Committee member Dave Kudish.
