Step Four - Arbitration. If mediation fails to resolve the grievance within a reasonable time, or if the University declines mediation, the grievance may be submitted to arbitration, unless withdrawn by the Union. The Union must submit the request for arbitration to the University’s Office of Labor Relations within thirty (30) calendar days from the final date of mediation, or receipt of the University’s rejection of mediation. The arbitration process will be administered by the PERC using a list of nine arbitrators from either Washington or Oregon. The parties will select an arbitrator using the alternate strike method.
