Mr. Fisher and Mr. Carrillo were originally appointed by President Clinton to the Panel in December 1994 and January 1995, respectively, to complete the unexpired terms of former Members.

Mr. Fisher is currently Of Counsel with the law firm of Arter & Hadden, and formerly Law Clerk to the Chief Judge of the Sixth Circuit.

Mr. Fisher resides in Shaker Heights, Ohio.

Mr. Carrillo is a partner at Carrillo & Manners, P.A., in Miami, Florida, and General Counsel for the National Federation of Public & Private Employees, AFL-CIO, a labor organization primarily representing public sector employees in the State of Florida. He is a graduate of the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico (B.A.) and the Columbia University School of Law (J.D.). He also currently serves as Vice-Chairman, Board of Directors of the Miami Chapter of SER, Jobs for Progress, a nationwide non-profit employment and training organization.

The Panel is charged with resolving impasses between federal agencies and unions representing federal employees arising from negotiations over conditions of employment. It is the last step in federal sector collective bargaining -- the substitute for the strike and lockout in the private sector.
