Alternate Dispute Resolution Process. If a satisfactory settlement cannot be effected at Step 2, the parties will meet within thirty (30) calendar days to determine one of the following dispute resolution mechanisms: Mediation, Expedited Arbitration or Single Panel Arbitration. Should the parties mutually agree to grievance mediation, the grievance will be mediated. In the event the grievance was not successfully resolved through grievance mediation, the Union, within thirty (30) calendar days, will inform the Employer in writing of the decision to advance the grievance to arbitration. Notwithstanding the above, by mutual agreement, expedited arbitration may be used after Step 1 of the grievance procedure.
