AI Summary

This bill provides for binding arbitration for firefighters and police officers in Massachusetts. If an impasse is reached in contract negotiations between a municipality and the employee organization representing firefighters or police officers, the matter will be resolved through a three-member arbitration panel or a single arbitrator selected by the state labor relations board. The arbitration panel or single arbitrator will consider various factors, including the municipality's financial ability, the interests of the public, and the wages and working conditions of other public and private sector employees. The arbitration decision will be final and binding on both parties.
