Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compulsory binding arbitration is a form of arbitration where both parties agree to a third party making a final and binding decision on the collective bargaining agreement. This is often used in the public sector when traditional bargaining methods fail and there is a risk of a strike or other critical situation. Mediation (A) is a form of negotiation where a third party facilitates discussions between both parties but does not make a final decision. Mandatory grievance resolution (B) is a process where disputes between an employee and their employer are resolved through a pre-established grievance procedure. Rights arbitration (C) is a process where a third party resolves disputes over the interpretation or application of a collective bargaining agreement.
