Bill Summary
By Mr. Ryan of Boston, a petition of Daniel J. Ryan and others that provision be made for binding arbitration for firefighters and police officers. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill provides for binding arbitration for firefighters and police officers in Massachusetts. If an impasse is reached during contract negotiations between an employee organization representing firefighters or police officers and a city, town, or district, the matter can be submitted to an arbitration panel or a single arbitrator selected by the state labor relations board. The arbitrator(s) will consider various factors, including the municipality's financial ability, the public interest, and comparisons to other public and private sector employees, and will select the last and best offer of either the employer or the employee organization as the binding award. The scope of arbitration is limited to certain matters, such as wages, hours, and working conditions, and excludes inherent managerial policies like appointments and promotions.
