Union leaders who rejected an independent arbiter's contract recommendation in August, said it is illegal for the authority to impose a new contract and would consider it a lockout. The union membership is scheduled to meet Nov. 23 "to educate members on the status of negotiations and to share legal options.
Though the membership could authorize union leadership to call for a strike Dec. 1, Local 85 President Pat McMahon said, "We have no intentions of voluntarily stopping work." However, he did not define whether a lock-out is "voluntary" or not.
