ARBITRATION: Intervention of an impartial third party to settle disputes between two others. The decisions of this third party -- the arbitrator -- are legally binding, much like the ruling of a judge in a court of law. Arbitration is commonly used to interpret a collective bargaining agreement between unions and employers. Much like a judge (in some cases it is a judge) an arbitrator determines how a given union and employer conflict stacks up against the terms of existing agreement. Note that an arbitrator doesn't try to decide what's "best, "fair," or mutually agreeable to both sides -- as would be the case with mediation -- but only what's in line with the existing agreement.

An independent agency of the Federal government that collects labor economics data in the United States economy, conducts economic research and analysis, develops and implements estimation methodologies, and disseminates economic statistics to the public. The information produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS for short) allows the government, business leaders, researchers, and the public to follow and understand the performance of the U.S. economy, particularly in regard to workers, work places, and families of workers. The BLS also serves as a statistical resource to the U.S. Congress, other Federal agencies, and state and local governments.
