A federal mediator has been brought in to mediate the Writer's Guild Strike. Sadly, it wasn't me. This dispute is a very common medium for a mediation. Unions have used federal mediators for years to help them settle strikes. Of course, Jimmy Hoffa wasn't that lucky.
From a mediator's standpoint, I must say that the task for the neutral in this dispute could workout in two ways. Either very easy or very tough. The dispute is mostly over revenue sharing generated from Internet downloads and sales. The demand is not an unreasonable one if you take into consideration the age we live in. but the amount in question is a mystery. The bottom line is going to direct the settlement of this dispute. Meanwhile, I am missing all the new episodes of my favorite shows. Are you?
RTM was established not only to provide affordable mediation services, but also to educate the public, and to introduce the advantages and benefits of this alternative dispute resolution. In 2007 RTM merged with American Mediation and history in virtual alternative dispute resolution was made.
