Stephen E. Alpern, Arbitrator





I have been an independent labor and employment law arbitrator since 2001. I accept cases jointly from parties to a dispute, from state and federal courts, and from independent appointing authorities such as the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and the American Arbitration Association. I also serve on arbitration panels established under collective bargaining agreements. Prior to becoming an arbitrator I was employed for almost thirty years as both an advocate and a neutral. Throughout much of that period I was employed at the executive level in federal agencies.

I have extensive experience under both public and private sector labor and employment laws including the National Labor Relations Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1974, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the federal Rehabilitation Act, and the federal Civil Service Reform Act. As an arbitrator I have handled cases in the private sector, as well as in all levels of the public sector. I have also mediated disputes and have extensive experience in fact-finding and interest arbitration.
