The world's leading provider of conflict management and dispute resolution services, the AAA is pleased to announce these recent initiatives and developments. To meet the needs of parties involved in labor disputes, the American Arbitration Association, which resolves 14,500 labor-management disputes annually, has established a new specialized labor panel of arbitrators with significant experience handling disputes involving recognition and related representational issues relating to the elections process and voluntary recognition. This specially-formed panel will, upon agreement from the parties, resolve disputes involving card checks, neutrality clauses, affiliation issues, voluntary recognition, accretion, and after-acquired clauses.
