Exhibit A Charge IV: Violation of Article 16.3 - Bypassing Required Membership Ratification

We start the episode with a revelation from the Matty Rose report; one that can have dire consequences for an already beleaguered NALC Executive Council. We then read Charge IV of Exhibit A (the original six charges)

We cite the Nolan Award and lay out, clear as day, that mediation, not arbitration, had been done. The members of NALC were deprived their right to receive the agreement for ratification, the same agreement they had already rejected.
