Mediation, fact-finding, and arbitration are the most common impasse resolution procedures used in various industries. Mediation involves a neutral third party who facilitates discussions between the parties in conflict to reach a voluntary agreement. Fact-finding involves a neutral third party who investigates and reports on the disputed issues. Arbitration involves a neutral third party who makes a binding decision on the dispute after hearing arguments from both parties. These three activities can be used sequentially or in combination to resolve an impasse.
