Common use of Arbitration - Regular Clause in Contracts

Arbitration - Regular. 1. At the Grievance/Arbitration Processing Center three (3) sep- arate lists of cases to be heard in arbitration shall be main- tained: (a) one for all removal cases and cases involving sus- pensions for more than 14 days, (b) one for all cases referred to Expedited Arbitration, and (c) one for all other cases appealed to Regular Arbitration. Separate panels will be established for scheduling (a) removal cases and cases involv- ing suspensions for more than 14 days, (b) for all cases referred to Expedited Arbitration, and (c) for all other cases appealed to Regular Arbitration. 2. Cases will be scheduled for arbitration in the order in which appealed, unless the Union and Employer otherwise agree. 3. Only discipline cases involving suspensions of 14 days or less and those other disputes as may be mutually determined by the parties shall be referred to Expedited Arbitration in accor- dance with Section C hereof. 4. Cases referred to arbitration, which involve removals or sus- pensions for more than 14 days, shall be scheduled for hearing at the earliest possible date in the order in which appealed. 5. If either party concludes that a case referred to Regular Arbitration involves an interpretive issue under the National Agreement or some supplement thereto which may be of gen- eral application, that party’s representative shall request input from their appropriate National Representatives at the Headquarters level. If either party’s representative at the Headquarters level determines the case is interpretive, a notice will be sent to the other party. The case will be held pending the outcome of the National interpretive dispute. If both par- ties’ representatives determine the case does not involve an interpretive issue, the case, if already scheduled for arbitra- tion, will be heard before the same arbitrator who was origi- xxxxx scheduled to hear the case. Further, if the hearing had convened, the case will continue at the same stage of arbitra- tion. 6. The arbitrators on each Regular Panel shall be scheduled to hear cases on a rotating system basis, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. 7. Normally, there will be no transcripts of arbitration hearings or filing of post-hearing briefs in cases heard in Regular Arbitration, except either party at the National level may request a transcript, and either party at the hearing may request to file a post-hearing brief. However, each party may file a written statement setting forth its understanding of the facts also shall be given an adequate opportunity to present argu- ment at the conclusion of the hearing. 8. The arbitrator in any given case should render an award there- in within thirty (30) days of the close of the record in the case.
