In that case, upon a timely demand for arbitration, the moving party must request a list within thirty (30) calendar days from the FMCS and notify the other party of doing so. The FMCS shall provide the parties with nine (9) arbitrators. Within seven (7) calendar days after receiving the list, the parties shall select the arbitrator by alternately striking names from the list. The last remaining name shall be the arbitrator. A coin toss will determine the party proceeding first in the striking of names procedure. Arbitration Timelines Once the Parties have appropriately selected an Arbitrator, they will schedule an arbitration date within sixty (60) calendar days or the earliest date that all parties are available. The Union and the Employer may, with mutual agreement, make procedural changes to the arbitration process given the unique circumstances of individual cases. Before the arbitration hearing, the Employer and Union will develop a stipulation of facts and use affidavits and other time-saving methods whenever possible. The arbitrator shall conduct the hearing in whatever manner will most expeditiously permit full presentation of the parties' evidence and arguments. Any arbitrator accepting an assignment under this Article agrees to issue an award within thirty (30) calendar days of the close of the hearing or sixty (60) calendar days if post-hearing briefs are submitted. Arbitrator Award and Cost Any dispute as to arbitrability may be submitted and determined by the arbitrator. The Arbitrator\u2019s determination shall be final and binding. All Arbitrator decisions shall be limited to this Agreement\u2019s terms and provisions. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to alter, amend, or modify the current Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Article, all costs, fees, and expenses of the Arbitration, including the cost of the Arbitrator, court reporter, hearing transcript (if requested by either party or the arbitrator), and any hearing room, shall be borne by the party whose position is not sustained by the Arbitrator. If the Arbitrator sustains neither party\u2019s position in the Arbitrator's sole opinion, the Arbitrator shall assess the preceding costs to each party on an equal basis. In addition, in all arbitrations, each party shall pay its attorney\u2019s fees and the cost of presenting its case, including any expert witnesses. Grievance/Arbitration Timelines Except as otherwise indicated, the periods and limits provided herein shall be calculated as of the date of actual receipt. All notifications under this Article shall be sent by e-mail, certified mail, or in-hand service. Such periods may be extended only by mutual written agreement of the Employer and the Union. Without such an agreement, the time limits shall be mandatory. The failure of the aggrieved employee(s) or Union to properly present a grievance in writing initially, to process a grievance in any of the steps in the grievance procedure after that, or to submit the grievance to arbitration under the express time limits provided herein, shall automatically constitute a waiver of the grievance and bar all further action thereon. The failure of the Employer to submit a response in any of the steps of the grievance procedure or to meet with the Union Representative within such periods shall not constitute acquiescence to it or result in the sustaining of the grievance. The failure to respond or meet shall be deemed a denial of the grievance as of the expiration date of the applicable adjustment period. Should the Union pursue the grievance further, within fifteen (15) calendar days of such expiration date, it may submit the grievance to the next step of the Grievance and Arbitration Procedure. Email communications shall be deemed to satisfy requirements that items be \u201cin writing.\u201d Email communications shall be considered \u201csubmitted\u201d or \u201cdelivered\u201d as the date-stamp on the recipient\u2019s email. Parties are responsible for verifying the accuracy of email addresses when using email for communications required to be in writing. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall accept a written statement signed by a resident or patient in place of their sworn testimony. Both parties shall have equal access to such written statements. Such documents shall carry the same force and effect as if the resident, patient, or family member appeared to provide live testimony. The parties agree that neither shall call a resident or patient as a witness, and the arbitrator shall not consider the failure of the resident to appear as prejudicial.", "hash": "b7b118ea5a57258fffd6cbf3fe329582", "id": 8}, {"size": 1, "snippet_links": [{"key": "pertaining-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [62, 75]}, {"key": "selection-of-arbitrators", "type": "clause", "offset": [80, 104]}, {"key": "under-article", "type": "definition", "offset": [105, 118]}, {"key": "the-collective-agreement", "type": "clause", "offset": [136, 160]}, {"key": "parties-are", "type": "clause", "offset": [166, 177]}, {"key": "the-process", "type": "clause", "offset": [203, 214]}, {"key": "by-the-parties", "type": "clause", "offset": [251, 265]}, {"key": "step-3-of-the-grievance-procedure", "type": "clause", "offset": [288, 321]}, {"key": "agreed-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [349, 358]}, {"key": "a-list", "type": "definition", "offset": [366, 372]}, {"key": "in-order-to", "type": "clause", "offset": [477, 488]}, {"key": "the-parties-agree-to-the-following", "type": "clause", "offset": [518, 552]}], "samples": [{"hash": "8c3iN08RFTb", "uri": "/contracts/8c3iN08RFTb#arbitrator-selection-process", "label": "Collective Agreement", "score": 26.3878593445, "published": true}], "snippet": "This letter is further to our conversations during bargaining pertaining to the selection of Arbitrators under Article 15.2 and 15.3 of the Collective Agreement.
