Here's my interpretation of the @PSLRB ruling: of course @PafsoApase is happy that they "won" on the good faith bargaining issue. /2
But @PSLRB explicit rejected the remedy sought by @PafsoApase: ie forcing me into binding arbitration. So partial victory for both sides. /3
In the end, I am willing to bargain, within my negotiation mandate, consistent w the pattern of bargaining with other deals I've struck. /4
With hard work, plus a little trust, we can respect the taxpayers and meet some of @PafsoApase's concerns. Thx.

Here is the no-so-good news. Link is protected so I am pasting the excerpt.

PAFSO President Tim Edwards said in a statement Monday that the government's appeal has brought the parties “no closer to a settlement,” and is simply wasting more time. According to a spokesperson for the Federal Court of Appeal, the appeal process could take anywhere from weeks months to unfold, depending on how long both parties take to submit their files.

Following the government's filing of affidavits Monday, the union will have 30 days to file any supporting affidavits and documentary exhibits. After that, both parties can request a cross examination within 20 days if they wish. Following the completion of the optional cross examination, the government will have 20 days to file their memorandum and then within another 20 days, the union will file theirs.

Sirs

Please understand that govt is gaining time , and they will enforce Back To Work Legislation , once parliament is in session On October 15,2013.

I believe govt is right , PAFSO has crossed limits - Stopping all work is no option

I'm probably going to get corrected here but the strikers are getting paid in full by the union PAFSO so I think the bank balance must be getting hit very hard which will cause them a problem. The government know what they are doing is very aggressive but that's their plan.

Hope they'll find a compromise within the next month or so ...
