Common use of Step 6 Clause in Contracts

Step 6. If the union is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Step 5, the union has ten (10) working days to submit the grievance to arbitration before an impartial arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitrator's Association in accordance with its rules which shall likewise govern the arbitration proceeding. Neither the employer nor the Union shall be permitted to assert in such arbitration proceeding any grounds or rely on any evidence not previously disclosed to the other party. Section 3.6. The arbitrator's decision will be limited to the specific grievance and the scope of the existing contract language. Both parties agree to be bound by the award of the arbitrator, and that Judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the services of the arbitrator, and his/her travel and subsistence expenses and the cost of any hearing room, will be borne equally by the Board and the union. All other costs will be borne by the parting incurring them.
