Fmcs Role In Age Discrimination

95 Words1 Page

Sasha, I agree that mediation is a more practical process to use if an employer thinks a conflict will be dismissed by a judge. The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service has provided alternative methods for resolving labor disputes since 1947. It has trained other agencies to utilize labor-management techniques for resolving disputes by using a non-threatening, impartial, neutral party to intervene prior to costly court proceedings (Barrett & Tanner, 1981).
