One of the means of alternative dispute resolution regarding a collective bargaining agreement dispute is mediation. What is meant by mediation?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Negotiated settlement between company and union representatives facilitated by an impartial person.
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution where an impartial third party, the mediator, assists the parties (in this case, the company and union representatives) in negotiating a mutually acceptable settlement to their dispute. The mediator facilitates the discussion and negotiation process, but does not impose a binding decision on the parties.
The other options are incorrect because A) refers to a judicial proceeding, C) describes direct negotiation without a third-party mediator, and D) describes a binding arbitration process rather than mediation.
