The primary purpose of this web site is to provide Michigan public sector arbitration awards for our students.  This site however is also open to the public and we hope it will be useful to arbitrators, unions, employers, academicians, lawyers and anyone else who is interested in the field of public sector labor relations. There is no charge to use this web site.

B. Contributors: 

Public sector unions, employers, lawyers and arbitrators have graciously provided us with copies of these awards.  We have deleted the names of the parties and replaced the names with either initials, new names or words like "grievant" and "supervisor." You will find these awards in the 'Michigan Grievance Awards' section.  If you would like to contribute a grievance award please go to the menu tab entitled, "Contact Us."  We are most appreciative for any award donations.

C. Useful Links:

 This web site also includes links to other web sites that you may find helpful in your arbitration research.  For example, in the 'Fact Finding, Interest and Grievance Awards by City and State' section, you will find that the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC) link has numerous grievance and interest arbitration decisions. You will also find that the Michigan Interest Arbitration and Fact Finding Awards link and the Oregon Employment Relations Board (ERB) link have several interest arbitration awards. In the 'Public Sector Unions' section you will find that some of the union web sites also have arbitration awards or summaries of awards.

If you would like to learn how to become an arbitrator  or fact finder go to the 'Arbitrator and Fact Finder Links' section.  If you would like to see the resumes of many of Michigan's arbitrators go to the 'Arbitrator and Fact Finders Resumes' section.  If you would like to see recent court decisions regarding arbitration go to Courts and Arbitration.
