    In an effort to reduce the time and expense of some grievance 
arbitrations, FMCS offers expedited procedures that may be appropriate 
in certain non-precedential cases or those that do not involve complex 
or unique issues. Expedited arbitration 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. 
Mandating short deadlines and eliminating requirements for transcripts, 
briefs and lengthy opinions streamline the process.
