    ing the rules.  Perhaps the more troubling admission: On the issue of concluding first contracts, Pavy also revealed that " the AFL-CIO does not currently have a program to train members in how to negotiate collective bargaining agreements. "  Huh?  A favorite talking point of EFCA supporters is that they can’t get contracts because employers drag out negotiations. Perhaps unions would seal the deal on more contracts if they made training negotiators a priority.  Instead, unions want binding first contract arbitration so they
