Read the grievance. Assume you are the Arbitrator and you will make a final decision in this case. Prepare an official statement to give to the Union and GMFC leadership. Your statement should address the questions on p. 542.

Most important, pay close attention to Question #3 – what information does the arbitrator need to know to make an informed decision AND, based on what you know, would you sustain, modify or overturn the termination of these employees (by the way, the management rights clause referred to in the case is in the contract on p. 389).

Expect to take 2-3 pages (double spaced., 12 pt font).
