False.RLA and NMB specifically describe the steps in the process including   

Each party is "required" to meet and confer on initial meeting dates and locations and then "required" to engage in "direct negotiations" between both of those parties. Only once either party is unwilling to continue or a stalemate is reached can either party break from direct negotiations and apply for mediation. Again, the more you speak it becomes abundantly clear you have no idea what you are talking about. Mediation is common in most all civil processes, howevwe, other requirements are to be met prior to getting to that point. Once one party says the "refuse" to engage in direct bargaining or work with the other party then it would seem you could apply. Only further proving the letter that it is AMC who is NOT willing or wanting to ratify the contract and they are the ones reusing to bargain. 

Mr Mayors I thought you would have learned all of this when the union crushed you and your false claims in court with the DOL several years ago....I see you are up to the same things trying to be a lawyer and wearing your tin foil hat. No one takes you serious and no one trusts what you have to say and for good reason.
