Question

what is the main goal of using mediation to settle disagreements between labor unions and company management? (1 point)

to allow a judge to issue a final and legally binding court decision

to have a neutral third party help both sides reach a voluntary agreement

to give an arbitrator the power to create a completely new labor contract

to force the company to accept all of the labor unions initial demands

Explanation:

Mediation involves a neutral third - party facilitating communication and helping parties reach a mutually - acceptable (voluntary) agreement. A judge issuing a binding decision is litigation. An arbitrator creating a new contract is arbitration. Forcing a company to accept all demands is not mediation (which is about negotiation and agreement, not coercion).

Answer:

To have a neutral third party help both sides reach a voluntary agreement
