Arbitration is currently being used more frequently to resolve grievances in nonunion employment relations (Leader and Burger, 2004; Lipsky and Seeber, 2004; Gross, 2004; McCabe and Rabil, 2002a, b). The main feature of this conflict resolution system is that the arbitrator has the ultimate power to render a final and binding decision. Therefore, a number of research questions arise, among others: Should nonunion employment arbitration be encouraged? What is the nature of ethical treatment of employees vis-a `-vis arbitration in the nonunion employment relationship? What are some potential problems connected with the renumeration of impartial and neutral third party arbitrators under this system? How active should the American Arbitration Association and the National Academy of Arbitrators be in this process? What are the cost considerations in nonunion employment arbitration? From a normative perspective, who should pay for the arbitrator – the company, the employee, or bothin nonunion systems? But – most importantly – how can ethical due process be maintained in nonunion systems compared to the wide usage of arbitration to resolve grievances in unionized settings?
