Arbitration
My private practice provided me with experience in participating in several different types of arbitration; these included med-arb, expedited and traditional. I include in arbitration a number of cases in which the parties engaged in fact-finding. The representatives in the arbitration process should be prepared to make and opening statement which, generally, outlines the facts of the case and the legal basis upon which the party is proceeding. The parties may select any of the above types of arbitration as the process they wish to utilize.
The subject upon which I have participated in arbitrations include, but are not limited to, absenteeism, discipline, discrimination (race and sex), fringe benefits, hiring practices, holidays, job performance, job bidding/posting, layoffs/bumping, jurisdictional disputes, layoff and/or bumping rights, management rights, past practices, promotion, safety/health conditions, seniority, sexual harassment, subcontracting, tenure/reappointment, union security, wages (various components of this category), hours of work, working conditions and violence in the workplace.
