About Labor Arbitration Services, Inc.
The mission of Labor Arbitration Services, Inc. is to provide quality intensive training in all the vital skills so necessary to become a winning advocate in labor arbitration hearings. Since our inception in 1979, we have trained over three thousand management and labor union advocates. Throughout our forty years, many employers, government, and labor unions have relied upon us to prepare their advocates for the critical task of presenting labor disputes to arbitrators. We hope you enjoy our labor arbitration advocacy course.
Limited enrollment allows participants to be divided into small groups for intensive exercises in arbitrator selection, case preparation, opening statements, direct and cross-examination, closing arguments, making and meeting objections, introducing evidence, using demonstrative aids, and other facets of labor arbitration advocacy. Emphasis is placed upon participants actually “doing it” rather than lectures. On the fourth day of the Basic Course, participants will present a discharge case to a distinguished labor arbitrator who will give individual critiques to each participant. A comprehensive Labor Arbitration Manual, prepared exclusively for use in training, is provided to each participant. (Manual available only to attendees.)
(Fl. Bar – 36.5 hrs. General C.L.E.R. Credits – For each course)
Our instructors are carefully selected for their extensive experience in labor arbitration advocacy. The instructors will use their years of preparing and presenting labor arbitrations to teach you the fundamentals of labor arbitration advocacy. The participant’s arbitrators for the Basic Course are members of the National Academy of Arbitrators, and each has served as a neutral in hundreds of labor arbitrations.

Third Satsang With Ravishankar
People have settled down now. I am sitting bang in front of Guruji Ravishankar. The bhajans start – Om Namah Shivaya and then Om namo bagavathe Vasudevaya. Then we sing the other bhajans on the Guru, on the Godess, Shiva, Rama, Radha, Krishna. Finally the singing stops with a sign from Ravishankar. He begins to speak. He asks us how we are doing. I say we are doing great. Having a nice time – laughing, singing and dancing. He says good and asks any questions. People are silent. He says if there are no questions then we have either understood everything or knows nothing. People laugh. One person asked a question that he is very confused in life and has become indecisive. Guruji replied if you are confused then take a pillow and go to sleep. At this very moment Pitaji enters the Kutir dramatically.
Pitaji is Mr Ratnam the father of Ravishankar and co-founder of veda vigyan mahavidyapeeth. Ravishankar welcomes pitaji by standing up and doing Namasthe. Pitaji sits on the throne next to Guruji. Ravishankar asks pitaji to speak. Pitaji is silent and he says let us all chant OM. We all chant OM a few times. Pitaji leads and we follow.
Now Guruji Ravishankar speaks to me in Kannada and asks me specifically how I am feeling. I tell him I am feeling great. The ashram is out of the world and its so serene and peaceful to be in his presence. Ravishankar says ‘hmmmm’and asks me what do you do. I tell him I am studying engineering. Then he says hmmm and ‘good good’. He turns his gaze to some other folks who have come from Mumbai and asks them when did they come. They reply and Ravishankar says ‘hmmmm good good’.
Some of the visitors from Bombay have brough chocolates and offer it to Ravishankar. He touches them and it is kept near him. He puts his hand on the chocolate box and starts throwing the chocolates around. People are catching the chocolates and are happy. He throws away all the chocolates at us and we catch and keep what comes to us from the Guru. He threw a couple at me as well and I kept it in my pocket.
THe bhajans begin again and go on for about twenty minutes. Ravishankar leaves the Kutir. Pitaji follows. We the people are sitting here. The time is around 7:30 PM and it is all dark outside.
Teacher now tells our group that it is time for Dinner. We go walking to the dining room. We have dinner and wash our plates. Once again a nice light south indian vegetarian dinner.
I go to the dormitory with the other folks. A little bit later I again go out for a walk and meet teacher on the way. Teacher says at 9:00 PM he is going to take our group of fifteen people to Guruji’s Kutir where we can meet Guruji in person. I am looking forward to it. I go to fetch the other people in my group.
