The arbitration process, and its drawbacks: Any time you have taken part in a major arbitration, and the decision, when it comes out, is not what you thought it would be (which is bound to happen occasionally), the normal reaction is something like the arbitrator got it wrong'._x000D_
Again normally, when you have cooled down a bit, and you look in more detail at the decision, you can see, probably, where he got it wrong' (it is only male arbitrators who get it wrong)._x000D_
Ultimately, when reason prevails, and you reflect on it, you can see that what really happened was that you failed to get the arbitrator to see what you were getting at in the point or points concerned._x000D_
This is doubly frustrating, when you consider what has been involved in getting to this point, having been through it all at least twice._x000D_
An alternative to this process may be the dispute review board.
