"Q: What happens now that we have requested mediation from the National Mediation Board?
As an administrative matter, the NMB will assign a docket number to the case and determine that it’s appropriate for assignment of one of about 20 staff mediators. If so, one of the mediators will be assigned to the work and, over the course of the next few weeks, will contact the parties to begin meeting."
If it wasn't deemed appropriate then how did we get assigned a mediator?

Fwiw.... K4 spent 3 of our 6 years in mediation.... The NMB is not your friend. Most of the mediators have have several ongoing negotiations and will only agree to meet for a "week" of meetings... meaning really Tuesday thru thursday...sometimes friday... and NOT every month...as they have a limited budget for this stuff and the travel involved. In the best of cases its a slow process.
