SUMMARY:Critical Steps to Prepare for Arbitration
DESCRIPTION:When a grievance cannot be resolved by direct conversations or through the grievance process\, arbitration may be necessary. Before arriving at the arbitration hearing\, thorough preparation can make the hearing more efficient\, and hence less costly\, and ensure that the arbitrator has the record necessary to make a sound decision. \nIn this class we will cover: \nClarity about what remedy is being sought. \nTheory of the case. \nNecessary witnesses. \nNecessary exhibits. \nPast practices or decisions. \nClosing arguments\, oral or written. \nCourse Goal: To understand the arbitration process and the ways it is used in labor relations disputes. By the end of the course\, participants will know how to use the grievance procedure and work with other representatives and attorneys to prepare an effective presentation before an arbitrator. \nCourse Style: After laying a foundation of the basic concepts\, each week the class will work through the steps leading to the hearing. \nInstructor: Sheila Mayberry is a full-time labor-management arbitrator and Chairwoman of the Maine Labor Relations Board.
