To further reduce the time, cost and complexity of arbitration, the concept of expedited arbitration came into being about two decades ago. As this article points out, not every grievance should be submitted to expedited arbitration. "Routine" and carefully delineated problems are best suited for this abbreviated form of arbitration. Also, the process should be flexible enough to allow a case to return to regular arbitration if the need arises.
