In the event of an impasse in negotiations between the parties for a
collective-bargaining agreement, either the labor organization or the Bank
may request the appointment of a qualified neutral person as a mediator to
assist the parties in attempting to resolve the impasse. The parties will
meet promptly with the mediator, and all matters discussed, as well as any
documents submitted, shall not be publicly divulged for any reason. The cost
of the mediator shall be borne equally by the parties.
