Common use of Panel Selection and Administration Clause in Contracts

Panel Selection and Administration. Within thirty (30) days after approval of this Agreement and annually thereafter, Council 25 and the Office of the State Employer shall simultaneously exchange the names of six (6) labor arbitrators (who are members of the National Academy of Arbitrators, or on the American Arbitration Association, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service or Michigan Employee Relations Commission Rolls). Each party shall then have the right to strike three (3) names from the other party’s list. The remaining names shall be the pool of arbitrators to be used, in the order indicated below, for all grievances appealed to arbitration. Should a selected Arbitrator decline to serve on the panel, the party proposing the name may submit another name as part of the six (6) arbitrators to be considered by the other party. Should this process result in a panel of less than six (6), the parties will only strike two (2) names from each other’s list. Once the panel is established the names will be listed in alphabetical order. Assignments shall be in a rotational order beginning with the first name for Education, the second name for Military & Veterans Affairs, the third name for Health and Human Services, the fourth name for Corrections, the fifth name for State Police, the sixth name for Natural Resources, and the seventh name for the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Council 25 will maintain a separate list for each department and an electronic copy shall be sent to the Office of the State Employer quarterly beginning March 1 of each year. Should a selected Arbitrator decline to serve for any of the above referenced departments and/or venues mutually agreed to by the parties, the Arbitrator shall be removed from the list.
