Decision to Arbitrate Clause Samples
The "Decision to Arbitrate" clause establishes that disputes arising under the agreement will be resolved through arbitration rather than through court litigation. Typically, this clause outlines the process by which parties agree to submit their disagreements to a neutral third-party arbitrator, and may specify the rules or institutions governing the arbitration, such as the American Arbitration Association. By mandating arbitration, the clause aims to provide a private, often faster and less formal method of dispute resolution, thereby reducing litigation costs and ensuring confidentiality for both parties.
Decision to Arbitrate. A decision by the Association to submit a grievance to arbitration shall automatically be a waiver of all other remedies, except as provided otherwise by law.
Decision to Arbitrate. Should a grievant, after receiving the answer to the grievance at Step 2 of the grievance procedure, still feel that the grievance has not been satisfactorily resolved, the grievant may, through the Labor Council representative, request that the grievance be heard before an arbitrator. The decision to arbitrate a grievance rests with the Union. If the Union decides to arbitrate the grievance, a written notice to arbitrate must be submitted to the Sheriff/designee within fourteen (14) days following the date the grievance was answered in Step 2 of the grievance procedure. In the event the grievance is not referred to arbitration by the Labor Council within the time limits prescribed, the grievance shall be considered resolved based upon the second step reply.
