The contract expired on Nov. 30, 2012, and by law union members cannot strike. If a settlement cannot be reached via negotiations, an arbitrator selects one of the party’s proposal through binding interest arbitration for the contract period.
The core issues remain active and retiree healthcare costs.
Rag called the Tribune

My comment:
So the executive class and the Trimet board mismanage the company and create an $850 million dollar unfunded liability.
The executive class gets raises and the union employees get thrown under the bus.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
,LAND OF THE FREE (free to die that is)
That's $850+ for unlawful changing of the contract without bargaining.

The Portland Tribune is nothing but a propaganda paper. Pamplin has bought up every small town paper in the Metro Area. There is no such thing as a real paper anymore that truthfully reports the news.
