Expedited arbitration and other innovations in alternative dispute resolution

Article Abstract:

For those seeking to expedite labor arbitration, there are various methods of alternative dispute resolution to choose from. Expedited arbitration was introduced by the steel industry in 1971 to address routine matters in a shortened format. There are ways to expedite all stages of the arbitration process. Prehearing briefs can familiarize an arbitrator unfamiliar with that contract or location with the issues. Some arbitrators tape record hearings, giving a less expensive, temporary record of non-criminal proceedings. Expedited arbitration can also eliminate post-hearing briefs.

Affirmative action and the white male in America

Article Abstract:

The courts have protected the already employed who are white men against reverse discrimination caused by affirmative action programs initiated under the 1964 Civil Rights Act despite a perception that white men are being excluded. Judicial interpretation of the Act called for a race- and gender-neutral workplace with a diverse, not a non-white, non-male, workforce. The current interpretations have leaned toward individual rights over group-based rights, further supporting a trend toward job-related hiring to produce a diverse workforce rather than a sex or race focus.

Arbitration is okay

Article Abstract:

Arbitration remains an efficient way of resolving labor disputes without going to court and criticisms that the process has become too costly and slow are not justified. Cost and delay problems can be attributed to the parties' failure to do enough comparison-shopping when selecting an arbitrator. A supply of qualified arbitrators could be assured by offering special training.
