Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
What are the AAA Labor Arbitration Rules and how do they apply to union-management disputes?
These rules govern how labor dispute resolution proceeds before the AAA. They explain how a case is initiated, how the parties participate in the process, how an arbitrator is selected, how hearings are conducted, and how a final award is issued. The rules are most commonly used for union-management disputes arising under collective bargaining agreements.
What types of labor cases does the AAA handle?
We handle a wide range of labor disputes, including disciplinary actions such as termination or demotion, contract interpretation, and workplace environment and safety issues. We help facilitate efficient resolution for almost any type of dispute that arises from alleged violations of collective bargaining agreements.
How much does AAA labor arbitration and mediation cost?
Costs for labor dispute resolution vary depending on the type of proceeding, the applicable rules, and the services provided. In addition to administrative fees, parties may be responsible for arbitrator or mediator compensation and certain case-related expenses. Refer to the fee schedule above for current rates, fee allocations, and other cost details.
Does the AAA provide mediation for labor negotiations and impasse resolution?
The AAA offers labor grievance mediation services for labor disputes. The AAA, however, does not facilitate collective bargaining negotiations or impasse mediation, which federal or state mediation agencies normally handle. So, while we administer disputes that arise under collective bargaining agreements, we don’t facilitate the collective bargaining process itself.
