What types of services does the CADR program provide?
The services focus on alternatives to traditional case processing and formal dispute resolution. The CADR program assists the parties both in preventing disputes before they become cases and in coming up with ways to informally resolve disputes in pending cases. This includes interest-based conflict resolution and intervention services in pending unfair labor practice cases, representation cases, negotiability appeals, and impasse bargaining disputes. The CADR program also provides facilitation, training and education to help labor and management develop collaborative relationships. The ultimate goal is to provide parties with the skills they need to do ADR on their own.
