The aggrieved and the Board shall have the right to include in its representation such witnesses and counselors as they deem necessary to develop facts and proofs pertinent to the grievance. All expenses of counselors and witnesses for each party will be handled by the party requesting their attendance.

Such decision is final and not subject to the arbitration step of this Article.

The list maintained by the Director of the Bureau of Mediation Services shall be made up of qualified arbitrators who have submitted an application to the Bureau.
