AB40-SA8,66,2413 111.70 (4) (cm) 5. `Voluntary impasse resolution procedures.' In addition to the
14other impasse resolution procedures provided in this paragraph, a municipal
15employer and labor organization may, as a permissive subject of bargaining, agree
16in writing to a dispute settlement procedure, including authorization for a strike by
17municipal employees or binding interest arbitration, that is acceptable to the parties
18for resolving an impasse over terms of any collective bargaining agreement under
19this subchapter. The parties shall file a copy of the agreement with the commission.
20If the parties agree to any form of binding interest arbitration, the arbitrator shall
21give weight to the factors enumerated under subds. 7. and 7g. for a collective

AB40-SA8, s. 2407dL 25Section 2407dL. 111.70 (4) (cm) 6. of the statutes is created to read:
AB40-SA8,67,15
1111.70 (4) (cm) 6. `Interest arbitration.' a. If in any collective bargaining unit
2a dispute relating to any issue has not been settled after a reasonable period of
3negotiation and after mediation by the commission under subd. 3. and other
4settlement procedures, if any, established by the parties have been exhausted, and
5the parties are deadlocked with respect to any dispute between them over wages,
6hours, or conditions of employment to be included in a new collective bargaining
7agreement, either party, or the parties jointly, may petition the commission, in
8writing, to initiate compulsory, final, and binding arbitration, as provided in this
9paragraph. At the time the petition is filed, the petitioning party shall submit in
10writing to the other party and the commission its preliminary final offer containing
11its latest proposals on all issues in dispute. Within 14 calendar days after the date
12of that submission, the other party shall submit in writing its preliminary final offer
13on all disputed issues to the petitioning party and the commission. If a petition is
14filed jointly, both parties shall exchange their preliminary final offers in writing and
15submit copies to the commission at the time the petition is filed.
AB40-SA8,69,516 am. Upon receipt of a petition to initiate arbitration, the commission shall
17investigate, with or without a formal hearing, whether arbitration should be
18commenced. If in determining whether an impasse exists the commission finds that
19the procedures under this paragraph have not been complied with and that the
20compliance would tend to result in a settlement, it may order compliance before
21ordering arbitration. The validity of any arbitration award or collective bargaining
22agreement is not affected by failure to comply with the procedures. Prior to the close
23of the investigation each party shall submit in writing to the commission its single
24final offer containing its final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to
25interest arbitration under this subdivision. If a party fails to submit a single,

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

1arbitrator. Unless both parties to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in
2writing, every individual whose name is submitted by the commission for
3appointment as an arbitrator must be a resident of this state at the time of
4submission and every individual who is designated as an arbitration panel
5chairperson must be a resident of this state at the time of designation.
AB40-SA8,69,166 b. The arbitrator shall, within 10 days of his or her appointment, establish a
7date and place for the conduct of the arbitration hearing. Upon petition of at least
85 citizens of the jurisdiction served by the municipal employer, filed within 10 days
9after the date on which the arbitrator is appointed, the arbitrator shall hold a public
10hearing in the jurisdiction to provide the opportunity to both parties to explain or
11present supporting arguments for their positions and to members of the public to
12offer their comments and suggestions. The final offers of the parties, as transmitted
13by the commission to the arbitrator, are the basis for continued negotiations, if any,
14between the parties with respect to the issues in dispute. At any time prior to the
15arbitration hearing, either party, with the consent of the other party, may modify its
16final offer in writing.
AB40-SA8,70,217 c. Prior to the arbitration hearing, either party may, within a time limit
18established by the arbitrator, withdraw its final offer and mutually agreed upon
19modifications, if any, and shall immediately provide written notice of any withdrawal
20to the other party, the arbitrator, and the commission. If both parties withdraw their
21final offers and mutually agreed upon modifications, the labor organization, after
22giving 10 days' written advance notice to the municipal employer and the
23commission, may strike. Unless both parties withdraw their final offers and
24mutually agreed upon modifications, the final offer of neither party is considered

1withdrawn and the arbitrator shall proceed to resolve the dispute by final and
2binding arbitration as provided in this paragraph.
AB40-SA8,70,143 d. Before issuing his or her arbitration decision, the arbitrator shall, on his or
4her own motion or at the request of either party, conduct a meeting open to the public
5to provide the opportunity to both parties to explain or present supporting
6arguments for their complete offer on all matters to be covered by the proposed
7agreement. The arbitrator shall adopt without further modification the final offer
8of one of the parties on all disputed issues submitted under subd. 6. am., except those
9items that the commission determines not to be mandatory subjects of bargaining
10and those items that have not been treated as mandatory subjects by the parties, and
11including any prior modifications of the offer mutually agreed upon by the parties
12under subd. 6. b., which decision is final and binding on both parties and shall be
13incorporated into a written collective bargaining agreement. The arbitrator shall
14serve a copy of his or her decision on both parties and the commission.
AB40-SA8,70,1615 e. Arbitration proceedings may not be interrupted or terminated by reason of
16any prohibited practice complaint filed by either party at any time.
AB40-SA8,70,1817 f. The parties shall equally divide the costs of arbitration. The arbitrator shall
18submit a statement of his or her costs to both parties and to the commission.
AB40-SA8,71,219 g. If a question arises as to whether any proposal made in negotiations by either
20party is a mandatory, permissive, or prohibited subject of bargaining, the
21commission shall determine the issue pursuant to par. (b). If either party to the
22dispute petitions the commission for a declaratory ruling under par. (b), the
23proceedings under subd. 6. c. and d. may not occur until the commission renders a
24decision in the matter and the decision is final. The arbitrator's award shall be made

1in accordance with the commission's ruling, subject to automatic amendment by any
2subsequent court reversal.
