Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The collective bargaining agreement between labor and management parties can specify the education, technical background, or experience that the arbitrators must have to qualify for the position. This means that individuals with varied backgrounds and qualifications, including non-attorneys, can serve as arbitrators. The other options are incorrect because arbitrators do not necessarily have to complete a certification course, nor do they have to be approved by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services' Office of Arbitration Services. Additionally, while attorneys and judges may serve as arbitrators, the pool of potential arbitrators is not limited to these professions.
