We haven't filed the papers yet for binding arbitration. We'll do it sometime this week. You lose a lot by going to arbitration. We lose a lot and they lose a lot. We've said we'll talk, but we've got to get it resolved. That's the only sure way.

Voluntary binding arbitration, if accepted, would end the strike immediately.
