I live in Arizona and filed a Federal Lawsuit for Breech of Employment Contract and I am awaiting the response from the waiver of service form I sent to the defendant. I now plan on writing a letter to the defandant/Attorney General for the District (the defandants attorney) spelling out exactly why it would be advantageous for them to agree to meet me and discuss this situation via arbitration/mediation. I know if I don't get them into a meeting, I will lose on a technicality and I sincerely doubt it will ever make it to court. I figure that I had better be very artful and articulate about expressing the information that I hold, proving that they did in fact breech the employment contract, how laws in United States Code Title 5 were broken and not correctly followed etc. etc., I think the Federal Government by law, HAS to agree to arbitration/mediation if it is an option offered, after a law suit has been filed....isn't this correct? And if you have any other advice, please feel free to give it! Thanks.
