Acceptability as a factor in grievance arbitration

Article Abstract:

A major concern of the grievance arbitration process centers on questions of 'acceptability,' including the acceptability of the arbitrator, the arbitrator's decision, and the arbitration process. Questions about acceptability may stem from the lack of agreement among the parties over the proper standards for grievance arbitration. If the process is seen as an extension of collective bargaining, then 'ethically ambiguous' awards are acceptable. If the process is seen as quasi-judicial, the arbitrator's role is diminished.
