grievance
Arbitration in United States law is a form of alternative dispute resolution; a legal alternative to litigation whereby the parties involved in a dispute agree to submit their respective positions through an agreement or a hearing held in front of a neutral third party often known as an arbitrator for a resolution to the disagreement. In general, arbitration is used as a substitute too the legal systems, particularly when legal processes are viewed as slow, expensive or biased. Arbitration is also used by communities that may lack formal law. Arbitration can also serve a distinct purpose: such as an alternative to strikes and lockouts as a means of resolving labor disputes. Labor arbitration comes in two varieties: interest arbitration, which provides a method for resolving disputes about the terms to be included in a new contract when the parties are unable to agree and grievance arbitration which provides a method for resolving disputes over the interpretation and application of a collective bargaining agreement (SECLaw.com) 2000.
In 1925 Congress passed the Arbitration Act establishing the right of parties to a contract to specify the processes to be used to resolve disputes over the interpretation or implementation of the contract (Fosum, J. A.) 2012.
The following are forms of arbitration:
• Grievance arbitration- is a quasi-judicial process where a neutral third party hears a dispute over contract interpretation, discipline or discharge and renders a final and binding decision (B. Fortado). Labor organizations in the United States, such as the National Labor Union, called for arbitration as early as 1866 as an alternative to strikes so as to resolve disputes over the wages, benefits and other rights that workers would enjoy.
GA 2
Governments have also relied on arbitration to resolve particularly large labor disputes, such as the Coal Strike of 1902. This arbitration utilized a neutral arbitrator to decide the terms of the collective bargaining
