The Efficient Delivery Of Arbitration Services Through Use Of The Arbitration Firm, Roger Abrams, Dennis Nolan
The Efficient Delivery Of Arbitration Services Through Use Of The Arbitration Firm, Roger Abrams, Dennis Nolan
Roger I. Abrams
Labor arbitrators work as solo practitioners, appointed to hear grievance disputes that arise under collective bargaining agreements. One significant problem that arises is the available of experienced arbitrators to hear disputes expeditiously. In this article, Dean Abrams and Professor Nolan suggest an alternative form for the delivery of arbitration services through use of an arbitration firm that would address the issue of delay. A number of experienced arbitrators would join together in a partnership. Parties seeking arbitration services would contract with the firm, and arbitrators would be assigned to hear cases based on their availability.

This article discusses the important factor of seniority which is used in most American workplaces as a measure of employee rights. Labor arbitrators are often asked to read and interpret seniority provisions in collective bargaining agreements to determine whether management has promoted the right person or laid off the wrong person. As “the coin of the industrial realm,” seniority normally defines job preferences, benefit eligibility and benefit calculation. The article analyzes and critiques a series of arbitration cases to determine whether they fulfill the parties’ expectations.
