Table of Contents
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) is proposing a change to its arbitration services regulations. This is an interim final rule, which means it takes effect immediately while the agency also accepts public comments on the change.
Why it matters: This is primarily an administrative update intended to give the agency more clear-cut authority to deny certain arbitration requests that it currently might feel obligated to fulfill due to vague wording in existing rules.
Who it affects
- Parties involved in labor or commercial disputes requiring FMCS arbitration services
