How much lead time should the parties give the NMB when they desire training?
If you wish to schedule face-to-face training, your request for training should be as far in advance as possible to ensure that the dates you want will be available. The NMB recommends that you call about six months in advance of your estimated first bargaining session for contract negotiations. Training should be done early because during the training you will learn new ways of preparing for bargaining.
