Online Arbitration
Online Arbitration utilizes internet based video as a good alternative for when circumstances may preclude face-to-face arbitration or when otherwise prudent. With online conferencing, the arbitrator and carrier/union representatives can meet anytime, regardless of where each individual is located. Use of the NMB Online Video-conferencing Center for RLA matters is free to the parties and NMB arbitrators.
Free “Instructor-led” training covering the features and uses of the NMB Online Video-conferencing Center is available online to any Labor Relations practitioner under the auspices of the Railway Labor Act, which covers U.S. Railroads and Airlines.
