Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An arbitrator makes a decision called an award, which is a final and binding decision on both management and the union. Therefore, options A and C, which suggest the arbitrator can make a nonbinding decision on either management or the union, are incorrect. Option D suggests that the arbitrator presents suggestions to persuade the union and management to settle, which is not necessarily the case; the arbitrator's role is to make a final decision based on the evidence presented during the arbitration process.
