Host Tom Godar welcomes to the show Husch Blackwell partner Jon Anderson to help him lead a two-part conversation with Howard Bellman, a fixture in the world of dispute resolution for many decades who has helped to shape the procedures and fora associated with mediation and arbitration in Wisconsin and nationally.
In Part I, our conversation covers the broad contours of dispute resolution within the context of labor and employment law and focuses initially on dispute resolution mechanisms in connection with collective bargaining agreements. These proceedings can be advantageous for the parties involved, especially in the labor setting, due to their speed and ability to preserve labor-management peace, an important consideration within the CBA setting. The conversation then turns to specific arbitration language found in CBAs, providing some practical insights into drafting arbitration provisions and how those provisions are implemented in addressing grievances and resolving disputes.
Be sure to catch this interesting discussion about the crucial role arbitration plays in maintaining accord between labor and management.
