Mediator, not arbitrator. The mediator’s role is to talk to both sides, and to attempt to find unexplored routes to consensus.

In some cases, their main purpose is to propose a settlement that demonstrates which party is being especially unreasonable, usually by hewing very closely to the demands of the other party.
