Presumably the arbitrator is free to handle his calendar without any real limitations. It's not unusual for complex arbitrations to take many sessions over many months. Good lucky.

The best advice I can give you is to ask the union lawyer these same questions. He or she should be able to easily provide you with answers.

The response is intended to provide general information about the question presented; but since the question often fails to include significant and important facts that, if known, might significantly change the response, it is strongly recommended that the questioner promptly confer with an attorney in his or her own state in order to ensure that appropriate legal advice is timely received.
