Practice question

The parties cannot presently agree on the name of their voluntary arbitrator but include a workable procedure for selecting one in the CBA. Is naming the person immediately the only statutory option?
  1. Yes, every selection procedure is forbidden
  2. Yes, the CBA must therefore be discarded
  3. Yes, only the employer may name one
  4. No; the statute expressly permits an agreed selection procedure as an alternative
  5. No, because arbitration need never be addressed
