Labor arbitration: The early years in retrospect5. The twenty-five year milestone

Seward suggests that the true measure of the progress of arbitration is not solely in the body of opinions but in the development of the institution itself, as an orderly and effective dispute resolution device.

The parties should work with arbitrators to continually assure that the process balances considerations of cost, expediency, effective communication and sound judgment.
