Upon Section 6 Notice, parties are required to meet, but not necessarily on their own.  If you read the RLA carefully, EITHER party can request NMB mediation anytime.  Since the company has had experience dealing with this non-Transportation (ie, little experience in RLA labor relations), they know up front to simply/quickly solicit the aid of a mediator.   The message by the union claiming the company was bypassing policy was simply hyperbole, false, and antagonistic!   

Second, what "court case" are you referring to?   DOL had a court case?   They are an administration, not a court.   But, even then, what case are you referring to?   A peruse of the DOL website doesn't document any case.  You keep like bringing it up, but you keep it a secret as well.   Propaganda?
