You gonna mediate?” Can’t he go, “Hey FDX, given all this stuff in front of me, your proposed rate is waaaaaay too low, come back with another offer”?
Well that’s really not the way mediation works. It’s not the mediator’s job to make specific suggestions to either party or to push things in a certain direction, he’s there to get them to come to an agreement between themselves.
Arbitration on the other had would be a different story. In that case, they take all the info presented and use their judgement to settle the issue.
