How does the streamlined process change the standards according to which some cases are scheduled for a conciliation meeting (in front of a conciliator) and others handled by a proposed desk decision?
Part of the streamlined conciliation process includes the implementation of standards that will ensure that cases are properly scheduled for conciliation meetings or are routed to conciliation for a proposed decision. In the past, the standards for routing cases to a conciliation meeting or desk decision varied considerably from district to district. The streamlined process incorporates the best practices of the districts, including suggestions for improvement offered by our stakeholders, to route cases along the most appropriate resolution path.
