Answer to Question 1

Answer: Negotiators use three types of third party interventions to overcome an impasse: mediation, fact-finding, and arbitration. With mediation, a neutral third party tries to assist the principals in reaching an agreement. This includes holding a meeting with each party to determine their respective positions. The mediator serves as a go-between and does not have authority to dictate terms or make concessions. He or she can communicate his or her opinions as to the likelihood of a strike. A fact finder is a neutral party who studies the issues in a dispute and makes a public recommendation for a reasonable settlement. This is commonly used in national emergency disputes. Arbitration offers the arbitrator the power to determine and dictate the settlement terms. If the arbitration is binding, both parties are committed to accepting the decision of the arbitrator.
