Arbitration and Grievance Procedures
Collective bargaining agreements will typically contain a provision requiring arbitration of employee grievances. Employers that wish to include a provision in collective bargaining agreements requiring arbitration of discrimination claims should make sure that the provision expressly addresses the claims it covers. Nonunionized employers may also want to establish arbitration as a means of resolving workplace disputes. Because this area of the law is complex and evolving, employers, unionized or not, should work closely with local labor or employment law counsel in drafting arbitration provisions.
