Mediation Level. If the grievant and/or Federation is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at the district level, the Federation may appeal to a mediator within ten (10) days. The parties understand that mutual agreements secured at this level are precedent setting unless the parties stipulate otherwise. By mutual agreement the parties may go directly from the district level to arbitration. Immediately upon receipt of the mediation request, the District shall contact the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service and request the assignment of a mediator. Parties agree to accept the first mediator available in order to avoid delays in the resolution process, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties. No party shall purposely withhold information at this level but shall disclose all information relevant to the grievance for consideration by the other party.
