Why do we need an extra court for this, especially if it's open and shut? Not looking to create more bureaucracy are we? In the interim, what are the plaintiffs to do (their incomes have been illegally curtailed, is the defendant culpable for these damages as well?)
(Union contracts can and are broken when the deciding body feels that the loss incurred by breaking them is lesser than the loss that will be incurred by honoring them. Similarly, there is no employment contract that an individual cannot bow out of. Businesses routinely break contracts with each other for precisely the same reasons. It's easier for a larger, better funded body to litigate a smaller, lesser funded body than it is for the situation to occur in reverse, nothing is ever open and shut unless one side is dismally underfunded, if both sides can afford to litigate it becomes legal MAD, etc etc etc)
