In the arbitration process under Article 39, Sec. 1, a grievant who is not a PBA member must post not less than how many dollars in advance of the selection of an arbitrator?

• A. $5
• B. $10
• C. $20
• D. $50

Answer: (B)

Arbitration under Article 39, Sec. 1 requires a non-PBA member grievant to post a cash deposit before the arbitrator is chosen. The rule specifies the amount as ten dollars. This upfront posting helps cover anticipated arbitration costs and shows the grievant is committed to moving the process forward, ensuring funds are available for the proceedings once an arbitrator is selected. The requirement applies only to those who are not members of the PBA; members do not have this posting obligation. The ten-dollar amount is the specified threshold, not a matter of flexibility, so it stands as the exact minimum in this context.
