North Kingstown, yes, and if you read the decision you would see that every court ruled in favor of the union. The Supreme Court ruled on a technicality, the union and the city had agreed (handshake) to terms and the union didn’t file for arbitration in time. A mistake that no other union will make going forward. So the SC ruled that the change must be negotiated but that a current contract was not in place. In Warwick the union will never miss its Arbitration filing deadlines therefore the 15-18 contract is still very much in place. So yes a change is possible but it needs to be negotiated. Elorza paid 8 million to find that out.
