Essay

Assume that you are called to mediate a conflict between the players and the management of Major League Baseball. The players wanted different salary caps and were turned down. Now they are about to go out on strike and neither side is talking to the other. What might you do to try to resolve this conflict so that baseball will not reach the same fate it did on September 15, 1995 when the 1994 major-league season and the World Series were called off for the first time in 89 years?
