rates of pay, rules, or working
conditions, and (5) to provide for the
prompt and orderly settlement of all
disputes growing out of grievances or
out of the interpretation or application
of agreements concerning rates of pay,
rules, or working conditions. In
fulfilling its role to administer the Act,
the National Mediation Board offers the
parties to disputes mediation and
arbitration services. On a voluntary
basis, training programs in Alternative
Dispute Resolution (ADR) and
facilitation services are also available.
These ADR programs are designed to
enhance the bargaining and grievance
handling skill level of the disputants
and to assist the parties in the resolution
of disputes. The impact of these ADR
programs is that mediation and
arbitration can be avoided entirely or
the scope and number of issues brought
to mediation or arbitration is
significantly reduced. This collection is
necessary to confirm the voluntary
participation of the parties in the ADR
process. The information provided by
the parties is used by the NMB to
schedule the parties for ADR training
and facilitation. Based on a recent
survey of those who participated in the
NMB’s ADR Programs, 94.6% said they
were satisfied with the ADR Programs
and said they recommend the program
for all negotiators. Collecting the brief
information on the Application for ADR
Services form allows the parties to
voluntarily engage the services of the
NMB in the orderly settlement of all
disputes and fulfill the purposes of the
Act.
