Arbitration is the most formal type of outside intervention to resolve a conflict between management and union. An arbitrator (the Chicago City Council in this scenario) or arbitration board determines a settlement that is binding, meaning the parties have to accept it. Arbitration in the writing of contracts or setting of contract terms has traditionally been reserved for special circumstances such as negotiations between unions and government agencies, where strikes may be illegal or especially costly.
