A lockout shouldn't scare management as it would be self induced.
As for arbitration. That won't happen until the two sides are close to an impasse.
Arbitration, is when a neutral third party helps build a bridge between the two sides.
Binding arbitration is when both sides present a contract and the arbitrator picks one.
If one side is to extreme, ie: the employer offering to little or the employee asking to much, that contract gets thrown out.
The arbitrator picks the more reasonable option.
The contract that ACPA is currently working under is the one proposed by AC.
Either way I suspect arbitration, if required, is months away.
