Once the Parties have appropriately selected an Arbitrator, they will schedule an arbitration date within sixty (60) calendar days or the earliest date that all parties are available. The Union and the Employer may, with mutual agreement, make procedural changes to the arbitration process given unique circumstances of individual cases. Before the arbitration hearing date, the Employer and Union will develop a stipulation of facts and use affidavits and other time- saving methods whenever possible. The arbitrator shall conduct the hearing in whatever manner will most expeditiously permit full presentation of the parties' evidence and arguments. Any arbitrator accepting an assignment under this Article agrees to issue an award within thirty (30) calendar days of the close of the hearing or sixty (60) calendar days if post-hearing briefs are submitted to the Arbitrator.
Arbitrator Selection Process. A. The party invoking arbitration (moving party) shall request a list of seven (7) arbitrators from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) by submitting an appropriate request to the FMCS within seven (7) calendar days after the date arbitration is invoked. The moving party will be responsible for payment of any panel fee. The party requesting the panel list shall specify that the arbitrators be members of the National Academy of Arbitrators (NAA) and/or the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and that the panel contain arbitrators within reasonable proximity to the site of the dispute. The panel members should be within 60-mile radius from the location of the hearing unless the parties agree otherwise. The moving party will request that the FMCS serve a copy of the panel list on both parties (AFGE Local President and the Agency’s Labor Relations Officer).
Arbitrator Selection Process. An arbitration procedure is hereby established for the purpose of adjusting grievances which may arise under the terms of the grievance procedure and which are properly submitted. The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties. The Company and the Union, on alternating basis, shall proffer a list of five (5) arbitrators within thirty (30) Days of the System Board filing. Such arbitrators shall be members of the National Academy of Arbitrators and shall have aviation arbitration experience. The party to whom the list is proffered shall select an arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar Days of receipt of the arbitrator proffer list. If a party fails to select an arbitrator from the proffered list, or the parties are otherwise unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator, either party may request the National Mediation Board to provide the parties with a panel of seven (7) neutrals who are members of the National Academy of Arbitrators with aviation arbitration experience. The parties shall, by the alternate strike method, select an arbitrator from the panel within fifteen (15) calendar Days of receipt of the panel. The party who proffered the original list of arbitrators or whose turn it was to do so shall have the first strike from the National Mediation Board panel.

Arbitrator Award and Cost Any dispute as to arbitrability may be submitted and determined by the arbitrator. The Arbitrator’s determination shall be final and binding. All Arbitrator decisions shall be limited to this Agreement’s terms and provisions. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to alter, amend, or modify the current Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Article, all costs, fees, and expenses of the Arbitration, including the cost of the Arbitrator, court reporter, hearing transcript (if requested by either party or the arbitrator), and any hearing room, shall be borne by the party whose position is not sustained by the Arbitrator. If the Arbitrator sustains neither party’s position in the Arbitrator's sole opinion, the Arbitrator shall assess the preceding costs to each party on an equal basis. In addition, in all arbitrations, each party shall pay its attorney’s fees and the cost of presenting its case, including any expert witnesses. Grievance/Arbitration Timelines...
Arbitrator Selection Process. The Employer and the Union shall select an arbitrator from the panel of arbitrators on a rotating basis. The arbitrators shall be placed on the panel in the order identified above. The first arbitrator selected shall be the arbitrator whose name is at the top of the list. After an arbitrator has been assigned a grievance, his/her name shall be placed at the bottom of the list. The arbitrator whose name is then at the top of the list shall hear the next grievance, and so on. If a selected arbitrator is not able to hear a grievance, his/her name shall remain in the same place on the list and the next arbitrator on the list shall be selected. This procedure shall continue until an arbitrator is selected. When an arbitrator is selected, the parties shall jointly ask the arbitrator to provide a hearing date (or dates). If the arbitrator is unable to offer a hearing date within twelve (12) months of selection, the parties may, by mutual agreement, select the next arbitrator on the list if that arbitrator is available to hear the grievance sooner. If none of the arbitrators is available to hear the grievance within twelve (12) months after selection, the parties shall jointly submit the grievance to the American Arbitration Association and thereafter it shall be handled in accordance with the Voluntary Labor Arbitration Rules. The parties may mutually agree to remove an arbitrator from the panel and select a new arbitrator. If this occurs, joint written notice shall be sent to the arbitrators.
