    In an effort to reduce the time and expense of some grievance 
arbitrators, FMCS is offering expedited procedures that may be 
appropriate in certain non-precedential cases or those that do not 
involve complex or unique issues. Expedited Arbitrator is intended to be 
a mutually agreed upon process whereby arbitrator appointments, hearings 
and awards are acted upon quickly by the parties, FMCS, and the 
arbitrators. The process is streamlined by mandating short deadlines and 
eliminating requirements for transcripts, briefs and lengthy opinions.
