OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES. The joint UNIFOR – XXXXXX Expedited Arbitration Trial Project is designed to build on positive developments between the two organizations. The underpinnings of the Project are the joint recognition, that the effective and timely administration of the Collective Agreement between UNIFOR and XXXXXX AIRLINES can be a positive tool to achieve the goals of both organizations. Enhanced Problem Solving initiatives can facilitate timely and effective contract administration. Enhanced problem solving can be part of every organizational culture. Effective problem solving is a best practice that can be contagious. It is widely found to be the underpinning of most productive organizations. When applied early in the grievance process, through mediation it allows organizations the opportunity to shape their own solutions rather than have decisions made by an arbitrator. With that in mind the parties will commit to a two year Expedited Arbitration Trial Project as set out below.

OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES. San Antonio is the seventh most populous city in the United States and the second in the state of Texas with more than 50% Hispanic population. The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) serves a population of approximately 4.7 million in South-Central Texas, a region that extends from San Antonio to Corpus Christi in the South-East, Laredo to the South and San Xxxxxx to the West. This area has traditionally fared poorly in graduate educational opportunities for its citizens. Lack of access, role models, information and resources are the most significant impediments for students from underrepresented groups to obtain graduate degrees (Xxxxxxx et al., 2003). UTSA is committed to transform the South-Central Texas region by providing value-based education. Through a comprehensive strategic planning process, the university has identified five multidisciplinary areas in which UTSA intends to excel in academics and research: health, security, energy and environment, human and social development, and sustainability. In particular, the College of Engineering at UTSA seeks to contribute to solving the known global energy challenge, consisting on finding a clean and sustainable source of energy to replace petroleum. Nuclear energy is recognized as America’s largest source of clean-air, carbon-free electricity, producing no greenhouses or air pollutants (NEI, 2016). Nonetheless, accidents (e.g. hydrogen explosions and fires), and leakage and contamination in the disposal of nuclear wastes can have catastrophic consequences to human health and the environment. In addition, unexpected natural events, such as floods and earthquakes, can result in radioactive contamination. Recently, the tsunami provoked by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake of magnitude 9.0 caused the release of reactor waste heat and decay heat to the sea. Moreover, nuclear facilities are vulnerable to terrorist attacks. As such, achieving optimum safety with the aim of protecting people and the environment has been a serious concern for the nuclear industry. Key aspects for guaranteeing nuclear safety include: 1) high quality design and construction, 2) comprehensive monitoring for detecting equipment failures and 3) probabilistic risk assessment strategies (World Nuclear Association, 2016). The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (CEE) has initiated efforts to train UTSA students to develop skills needed to participate in the design and safety operation of nuclear power plants. The CE...
