Collective bargaining mediation and arbitration are both processes used to resolve disputes between employers and employees, particularly in labor relations. Both aim to facilitate agreement and avoid strikes or work stoppages, promoting cooperation and dialogue. Mediation involves a neutral third party helping the parties negotiate a settlement, while arbitration involves that third party making a binding decision. Ultimately, both processes seek to achieve fair outcomes and maintain labor peace.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (commonly referred to as "ADR") is any means of settling a legal dispute without actually going to court. Mediation is a very common form of ADR, as is Arbitration (binding or not). There are other forms as well, and many courts require that some form of ADR is attempted before the case goes to trial. ADR is especially helpful for simple cases that can easily be decided without a judge and jury. Most mediators/arbitrators (persons acting as the judge and jury in mediation or arbitration, respectively) are themselves retired attorneys or judges. ADR involves many of the same things you would do in court (e.g., filing a brief of your argument), but without the formality and cost.
Bargaining is a common feature in the place where goods are sold.
Negotiation: Both parties engage in discussions to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Mediation: A neutral third party helps facilitate discussions and find common ground between labor and management. Arbitration: A neutral third party makes a binding decision to resolve the dispute. Collective bargaining: Formal negotiations between labor representatives and management to reach agreement on wages, benefits, and working conditions. Strike or lockout: Extreme measures where workers may withhold labor (strike) or management may prevent access to the workplace (lockout) to pressure for a resolution.
CBA stands for Collective Bargaining Agent. Each bargaining agent also has rules about how they negotiate on behalf of their members: How the member input is gathered, How decisions are made about bargaining proposals, Who does the bargaining.
