Restraining Violations. If the Township claims this Article is violated, it may at its option obtain an immediate arbitration hearing. To do so it shall give the Union written or telegraphic notice of its claim on an emergency basis. The Township may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint without the submission of a panel an arbitrator to hear and decide the claim on an emergency basis. The hearing shall be held within 48 hours of the request to that association or as soon after that as possible. The parties shall not file and the arbitrator shall not receive post-hearing briefs about the issuance of an immediate restraining order. The arbitrator shall rule from the bench and, if he finds this Article has been violated, he shall immediately issue an award prohibiting continuation or resumption of the strike. The arbitrator shall continue the hearing (and may request post-hearing briefs) on the issue of damages. This arbitration provision does not affect the Township's right to seek direct relief, injunctive or otherwise in the courts or elsewhere.
