Mediation Request Clause Samples

Mediation Request. If an agreement is not reached within forty-five (45) days of the start of school, either party may request the services of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). Additionally, if both parties agree to mediation or if the Illinois Education Labor Relations Board (IELRB) invokes mediation, the services of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) will be used. Should FMCS be unavailable, the parties shall immediately commence discussions as to a replacement. If a replacement is unavailable or the parties cannot agree, the IELRB shall be notified. The mediator shall not, without the consent of both parties, recommend terms of settlement or make any findings of fact.

Mediation Request. A Party may request non-binding mediation (“Mediation”) by delivering a written request for Mediation (“Mediation Request”) to the other Party. The Mediation Request must include a summary of the Dispute and the position of the Party submitting the request, together with any backup information or documentation that Party elects to provide. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Mediation Request, the responding Party may agree to meet and confer promptly with the requesting Party to attempt to resolve the Dispute. In the absence of such agreement, or if the meet and confer does not resolve the matter promptly, the Party who requested Mediation may submit the Dispute for Mediation to JAMS in the City and County of San Francisco.

Mediation Request. If after a reasonable period of negotiation and within forty-five (45) days of the scheduled start of the forthcoming school year an impasse has been reached, either party may petition the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board to initiate mediation. Alternatively, the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board on its own motion may initiate mediation during this period.
