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 municipal employer and a recognized employee organization representing firefighters or police officers, the bill establishes a process for the dispute to be resolved through binding arbitration. The bill outlines the procedures for selecting an arbitration panel or single arbitrator, the timeline for hearings and decisions, and the factors the arbitrator(s) must consider in reaching a final and binding award. The scope of arbitration is limited to certain matters, such as wages, hours, and working conditions, and excludes inherent managerial rights like appointments and promotions.
