Bill Summary

Relative to interest arbitration for state police collective bargaining disputes. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing law on interest arbitration for state police collective bargaining disputes. The key provisions are as follows: 1. If the state police union and the employer fail to reach an agreement during contract negotiations, the union can petition the state labor board to investigate the matter. 2. If the board determines that the negotiations have not resulted in an agreement, it will notify the parties that the unresolved issues will be resolved through arbitration, with the arbitrator selected by the union and the employer. 3. The bill also removes the previous limitations on the scope of arbitration, which had excluded certain managerial decisions like appointments, promotions, and transfers. The new provisions expand the scope of arbitration to include wages, hours, standards of productivity and performance, and any other terms and conditions of employment.
