Conciliation is the process where a neutral third-party assists in resolving a dispute by facilitating communication and negotiation between the two parties. It is commonly used to assess proposals from both the employer and the labour union in order to avoid a strike or lockout. Interest arbitration is a process where a neutral third-party arbitrator makes a final and binding decision on the terms of a collective agreement. Mediation is also a process where a neutral third-party assists in resolving a dispute, but the mediator does not have the power to make a final decision. Grievance arbitration is used to resolve disputes over the interpretation or application of an existing collective agreement.
