17obligation of a municipal employer, through its officers and agents, and the
18representative of its municipal employees in a collective bargaining unit, to meet and
19confer at reasonable times, in good faith, with the intention of reaching an
20agreement, or to resolve questions arising under such an agreement, with respect to
21wages, hours and conditions of employment, and with respect to a requirement of the
22municipal employer for a municipal employee to perform law enforcement and fire
23fighting services under s. 61.66, except as provided in subs. (3m) , (3p), and (4) (m)
24and (mc) and s. 40.81 (3) and except that a municipal employer shall not meet and
25confer with respect to any proposal to diminish or abridge the rights guaranteed to

1municipal employees under ch. 164. The duty to bargain, however, does not compel
2either party to agree to a proposal or require the making of a concession. Collective
3bargaining includes the reduction of any agreement reached to a written and signed
4document. The municipal employer shall not be required to bargain on subjects
5reserved to management and direction of the governmental unit except insofar as the
6manner of exercise of such functions affects the wages, hours and conditions of
7employment of the municipal employees in a collective bargaining unit. In creating
8this subchapter the legislature recognizes that the municipal employer must
9exercise its powers and responsibilities to act for the government and good order of
10the jurisdiction which it serves, its commercial benefit and the health, safety and
11welfare of the public to assure orderly operations and functions within its
12jurisdiction, subject to those rights secured to municipal employees by the

9other impasse resolution procedures provided in this paragraph, a municipal
10employer and labor organization may at any time, as a permissive subject of
11bargaining, agree in writing to a dispute settlement procedure, including
12authorization for a strike by municipal employees or binding interest arbitration,
13which is acceptable to the parties for resolving an impasse over terms of any
14collective bargaining agreement under this subchapter. A copy of such agreement
15shall be filed by the parties with the commission. If the parties agree to any form of
16binding interest arbitration, the arbitrator shall give weight to the factors
17enumerated under subds. 7., and 7g. for a collective bargaining unit consisting of
18municipal employees who are not school district employees
and under subd. 7r. for
19a collective bargaining unit consisting of municipal employees.
AB75-SSA1, s. 2227 20Section 2227. 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. of the statutes is amended to read:
AB75-SSA1,1192,1621 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. `Issues subject to arbitration.' In a collective bargaining unit
22consisting of that includes school district professional employees, the municipal
23employer or the labor organization may petition the commission to determine
24whether the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer with
25respect to school district professional employees
. The commission shall appoint an

1investigator for that purpose. If the investigator finds that the municipal employer
2has submitted such a qualified economic offer, the investigator shall determine
3whether a deadlock exists between the parties with respect to all economic issues
4affecting school district professional employees. If the municipal employer submits
5such a qualified economic offer applicable to any period beginning on or after
6July 1, 1993, no economic issues affecting school district professional employees are
7subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for that period, except that only the
8impact of contracting out or subcontracting work that would otherwise be performed
9by municipal employees in the collective bargaining unit is subject to interest
10arbitration under subd. 6. In such a collective bargaining unit, economic issues
11concerning the wages, hours or conditions of employment of the school district
12professional employees in the unit for any period prior to July 1, 1993, are subject
13to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for that period. In such a collective bargaining
14unit, noneconomic issues applicable to any period on or after July 1, 1993, are subject
15to interest arbitration after the parties have reached agreement and stipulate to
16agreement on all economic issues concerning the wages, hours or conditions of
17employment of the school district professional employees in the unit for that period.
18In such a collective bargaining unit, if the commission's investigator finds that the
19municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer with respect to school
20district professional employees
and that a deadlock exists between the parties with
21respect to all economic issues affecting school district professional employees, the
22municipal employer may implement the qualified economic offer. On the 90th day
23prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified economic offer, if no
24agreement exists on that day, the parties are deemed to have stipulated to the
25inclusion in a new or revised collective bargaining agreement of all provisions of any

1predecessor collective bargaining agreement concerning economic issues affecting
2school district professional employees
, or of all provisions of any existing collective
3bargaining agreement concerning these economic issues if the parties have reopened
4negotiations under an existing agreement, as modified by the terms of the qualified
5economic offer and as otherwise modified by the parties. In such a collective
6bargaining unit, on and after that 90th day, a municipal employer that refuses to
7bargain collectively with respect to the terms of that stipulation, applicable to the
890-day period prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified
9economic offer, does not violate sub. (3) (a) 4. Any such unilateral implementation
10after August 11, 1993, during the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period
11included within such a qualified economic offer, operates as a full, final and complete
12settlement of all economic issues affecting school district professional employees
13between the parties for the period included within the qualified economic offer. The
14failure of a labor organization to recognize the validity of such a lawful qualified
15economic offer does not affect the obligation of the municipal employer to submit
16economic issues to arbitration under subd. 6.

21or more issues, qualifying for interest arbitration under subd. 5s. in a collective
22bargaining unit to which subd. 5s. applies,
has not been settled after a reasonable
23period of negotiation and after mediation by the commission under subd. 3. and other
24settlement procedures, if any, established by the parties have been exhausted, and
25the parties are deadlocked with respect to any dispute between them over wages,

1hours and conditions of employment to be included in a new collective bargaining
2agreement, either party, or the parties jointly, may petition the commission, in
3writing, to initiate compulsory, final and binding arbitration, as provided in this
4paragraph. At the time the petition is filed, the petitioning party shall submit in
5writing to the other party and the commission its preliminary final offer containing
6its latest proposals on all issues in dispute. Within 14 calendar days after the date
7of that submission, the other party shall submit in writing its preliminary final offer
8on all disputed issues to the petitioning party and the commission. If a petition is
9filed jointly, both parties shall exchange their preliminary final offers in writing and
10submit copies to the commission at the time the petition is filed.

AB75-SSA1,1195,512 111.70 (4) (cm) 6. am. Upon receipt of a petition to initiate arbitration, the
13commission shall make an investigation, with or without a formal hearing, to
14determine whether arbitration should be commenced. If in determining whether an
15impasse exists the commission finds that the procedures set forth in this paragraph
16have not been complied with and such compliance would tend to result in a
17settlement, it may order such compliance before ordering arbitration. The validity
18of any arbitration award or collective bargaining agreement shall not be affected by
19failure to comply with such procedures. Prior to the close of the investigation each
20party shall submit in writing to the commission its single final offer containing its
21final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to interest arbitration under
22this subdivision or under subd. 5s. in collective bargaining units to which subd. 5s.
23applies
. If a party fails to submit a single, ultimate final offer, the commission shall
24close the investigation based on the last written position of the party. The municipal
25employer may not submit a qualified economic offer under subd. 5s. after the close

1of the investigation.
Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects of
2bargaining, except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a
3party if the other party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory
4subject. No later than such time, the parties shall also submit to the commission a
5stipulation, in writing, with respect to all matters which are agreed upon for
6inclusion in the new or amended collective bargaining agreement. The commission,
7after receiving a report from its investigator and determining that arbitration should
8be commenced, shall issue an order requiring arbitration and immediately submit
9to the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. Upon receipt of such list, the parties shall
10alternately strike names until a single name is left, who shall be appointed as
11arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing of the
12identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of such notice, the commission shall
13formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the
14parties. The final offers shall be considered public documents and shall be available
15from the commission. In lieu of a single arbitrator and upon request of both parties,
16the commission shall appoint a tripartite arbitration panel consisting of one member
17selected by each of the parties and a neutral person designated by the commission
18who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and
19duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all
20arbitration decisions by such panel shall be determined by majority vote. In lieu of
21selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the
22commission shall establish a procedure for randomly selecting names of arbitrators.
23Under the procedure, the commission shall submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the
24parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5
25names, the commission shall randomly appoint an arbitrator. Unless both parties

1to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in writing, every individual whose
2name is submitted by the commission for appointment as an arbitrator shall be a
3resident of this state at the time of submission and every individual who is
4designated as an arbitration panel chairperson shall be a resident of this state at the
5time of designation.

3bargaining unit for the purpose of collective bargaining and shall whenever possible,
4unless otherwise required under this subchapter, avoid fragmentation by
5maintaining as few collective bargaining units as practicable in keeping with the size
6of the total municipal work force workforce. In making such a determination, the
7commission may decide whether, in a particular case, the municipal employees in the
8same or several departments, divisions, institutions, crafts, professions, or other
9occupational groupings constitute a collective bargaining unit. Before making its
10determination, the commission may provide an opportunity for the municipal
11employees concerned to determine, by secret ballot, whether or not they desire to be
12established as a separate collective bargaining unit. The commission shall not
13decide, however, that any group of municipal employees constitutes an appropriate
14collective bargaining unit if the group includes both municipal employees who are
15school district professional employees and municipal employees who are not school
16district professional employees.

4collective bargaining unit. Upon the expiration of any collective bargaining
5agreement in force, the commission shall combine into a single collective bargaining
