The reasonable accommodation process in unionized environments

Article Abstract:

The National Labor Relations Act and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 can be in conflict when reasonable accommodation of a disabled worker is attempted within a unionized environment. Courts are unlikely to see conflicts with collective bargaining agreements as undue hardship removing the accommodation requirement, but cooperation between the employer, employee and union is best to resolve the problems. However, union involvement means the interests of all employees must be considered, not just the disabled worker.

Grievance mediation: how to make the process work for you

Article Abstract:

Grievance mediation, the last step in grievance procedure before going to arbitration, can improve labor management relations if used properly. Mediation creates an atmosphere for open communication because it is informal and grievants can express themselves. It is an open process because nothing said at the mediation can be used later and the mediator's opinion is not binding. Advocates should ensure their party is sincere about mediation and it is not being used to find out the case of the other side.
