Dispute Mediation and Resolution Consultants

With any dispute mediation, coming to an equitable and quick resolution is paramount for both the union and management team. MADI can assist your organization in thoroughly preparing itself to respond to the dispute from a position of strength.

However, the situation is inherently divisive and combative-on one side you have grievances filed by the union against the organization and on the other side you have management who has obligations to shareholders and customers to provide a product and make a profit.

• Contract interpretation disputes
• Employee bargaining for wage and employment benefits
• Discipline disputes

A major, or even minor, grievance can have substantial effects on employee morale, customer service, and company profits due to a work stoppage.
