Bill Summary

Relative to binding arbitration for public employee collective bargaining proceedings. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 150E of the General Laws to allow for binding arbitration in public employee collective bargaining proceedings. Specifically, if an impasse continues after the publication of a fact-finding report, either party or the parties acting jointly may petition the Labor Relations Board to initiate binding arbitration proceedings. The Board will then appoint a panel of three arbitrators, or the parties can agree on the arbitrators themselves. The arbitration panel must transmit its final and binding decision to the Board and the parties within 30 days of its appointment.
