1. `Mediation.' The commission may function as a mediator in any labor
22dispute. Such mediation may be carried on by a person designated to act by the
23commission upon request of one or both of the parties or upon initiation of the
24commission. The function of the mediator shall be to bring the parties together
25voluntarily under such favorable auspices as will tend to effectuate settlement of the

1dispute, but neither the commission nor a mediator shall have the power of
2compulsion.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,155,63 2. `Fact-finding.' a. If a dispute has not been settled after a reasonable period
4of negotiation and after the settlement procedures, if any, established by the parties
5have been exhausted, the parties jointly may petition the commission, in writing, to
6initiate fact-finding and to make recommendations to resolve the dispute.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,155,127 b. Upon receipt of a petition to initiate fact-finding, the commission shall make
8an investigation with or without a formal hearing, to determine whether a deadlock
9exists. After its investigation the commission shall certify the results thereof. If the
10commission certifies that a deadlock exists, it shall appoint a qualified, disinterested
11person or, if jointly requested by the parties, a 3-member panel to function as a fact
12finder.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,155,2113 c. The fact finder may establish dates and places of hearings, and shall conduct
14the hearings pursuant to rules established by the commission. Upon request, the
15commission shall issue subpoenas for hearings conducted by the fact finder. The fact
16finder may administer oaths. Upon completion of the hearing, the fact finder shall
17make written findings of fact and recommendations for resolution of the dispute and
18shall cause them to be served on the parties and the commission. Costs of
19fact-finding proceedings shall be divided equally between the parties. At the time
20the fact finder submits a statement of his or her costs to the parties, the fact finder
21shall submit a copy thereof to the commission at its Madison office.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,155,2322 d. Any fact finder may endeavor to mediate the dispute in which the fact finder
23is involved at any time prior to the issuance of the fact finder's recommendations.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,156,324 e. Within the time period mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if no time
25period is agreed to within 30 days after receipt of the fact-finder's recommendations,

1each party shall advise the other, in writing, as to its acceptance or rejection, in whole
2or in part, of the fact finder's recommendations and, at the same time, transmit a
3copy of such notice to the commission at its Madison office.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,156,94 3. `Remedies in event of strike.' Upon establishing that a strike is in progress,
5the employer may either seek an injunction or file a prohibited practice charge with
6the commission under sub. (3) (b) 7. or both. The existence of an administrative
7remedy does not constitute grounds for denial of injunctive relief. The occurrence of
8a strike and the participation therein by municipal employes do not affect the rights
9of the municipal employer, in law or in equity, to deal with the strike, including:
AB150-ASA1-AA26,156,1110 a. The right to impose discipline, including discharge, or suspension without
11pay, of any municipal employe participating in the strike.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,156,1312 b. The right to cancel the reinstatement eligibility of any municipal employe
13engaging in the strike.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,156,1614 c. The right of the municipal employer to request the imposition of fines, either
15against the labor organization or against any municipal employe engaging in the
16strike, or to sue for damages because of such strike activity.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,156,1917 4. `Application.' This paragraph applies only to municipal employes of a county,
18other than municipal employes who are engaged in law enforcement or fire fighting
19functions.
AB150-ASA1-AA26, s. 3794k 20Section 3794k. 111.70 (4) (cm) of the statutes, as affected by 1993 Wisconsin
21Act 16
, is repealed and recreated to read:
AB150-ASA1-AA26,157,622 111.70 (4) (cm) Methods for peaceful settlement of disputes; other personnel. 1.
23`Notice of commencement of contract negotiations.' For the purpose of advising the
24commission of the commencement of contract negotiations, whenever either party
25requests the other to reopen negotiations under a binding collective bargaining

1agreement, or the parties otherwise commence negotiations if no such agreement
2exists, the party requesting negotiations shall immediately notify the commission in
3writing. Upon failure of the requesting party to provide such notice, the other party
4may so notify the commission. The notice shall specify the expiration date of the
5existing collective bargaining agreement, if any, and shall set forth any additional
6information the commission may require on a form provided by the commission.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,157,137 2. `Presentation of initial proposals; open meetings.' The meetings between
8parties to a collective bargaining agreement or proposed collective bargaining
9agreement under this subchapter which are held for the purpose of presenting initial
10bargaining proposals, along with supporting rationale, shall be open to the public.
11Each party shall submit its initial bargaining proposals to the other party in writing.
12Failure to comply with this subdivision is not cause to invalidate a collective
13bargaining agreement under this subchapter.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,157,1814 3. `Mediation.' The commission or its designee shall function as mediator in
15labor disputes involving municipal employes upon request of one or both of the
16parties, or upon initiation of the commission. The function of the mediator shall be
17to encourage voluntary settlement by the parties. No mediator has the power of
18compulsion.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,157,2319 4. `Grievance arbitration.' Parties to a dispute pertaining to the meaning or
20application of the terms of a written collective bargaining agreement may agree in
21writing to have the commission or any other appropriate agency serve as arbitrator
22or may designate any other competent, impartial and disinterested person to so
23serve.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,158,724 5. `Voluntary impasse resolution procedures.' In addition to the other impasse
25resolution procedures provided in this paragraph, a municipal employer and labor

1organization may at any time, as a permissive subject of bargaining, agree in writing
2to a dispute settlement procedure, including authorization for a strike by municipal
3employes or binding interest arbitration, which is acceptable to the parties for
4resolving an impasse over terms of any collective bargaining agreement under this
5subchapter. A copy of such agreement shall be filed by the parties with the
6commission. If the parties agree to any form of binding interest arbitration, the
7arbitrator shall give weight to the factors enumerated under subd. 7.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,159,158 5s. `Issues subject to arbitration.' In a collective bargaining unit consisting of
9school district professional employes, the municipal employer or the labor
10organization may petition the commission to determine whether the municipal
11employer has submitted a qualified economic offer. The commission shall appoint an
12investigator for that purpose. If the investigator finds that the municipal employer
13has submitted a qualified economic offer, the investigator shall determine whether
14a deadlock exists between the parties with respect to all economic issues. If the
15municipal employer submits a qualified economic offer applicable to any period
16beginning on or after July 1, 1993, no economic issues are subject to interest
17arbitration under subd. 6. for that period. In such a collective bargaining unit,
18economic issues concerning the wages, hours or conditions of employment of the
19school district professional employes in the unit for any period prior to July 1, 1993,
20are subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for that period. In such a collective
21bargaining unit, noneconomic issues applicable to any period on or after July 1, 1993,
22are subject to interest arbitration after the parties have reached agreement and
23stipulate to agreement on all economic issues concerning the wages, hours or
24conditions of employment of the school district professional employes in the unit for
25that period. In such a collective bargaining unit, if the commission's investigator

1finds that the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer and that
2a deadlock exists between the parties with respect to all economic issues, the parties
3are deemed to have stipulated to the inclusion in a new or revised collective
4bargaining agreement of all provisions of any predecessor collective bargaining
5agreement concerning economic issues, or of all provisions of any existing collective
6bargaining agreement concerning economic issues if the parties have reopened
7negotiations under an existing agreement, as modified by the terms of the qualified
8economic offer and as otherwise modified by the parties. In such a collective
9bargaining unit, a municipal employer that unilaterally implements the terms of a
10stipulation under this subdivision does not violate sub. (3) (a) 4. Any such unilateral
11implementation after August 11, 1993, operates as a full, final and complete
12settlement of all economic issues between the parties for the period included within
13the qualified economic offer. The failure of a labor organization to recognize the
14validity of such a lawful qualified economic offer does not affect the obligation of the
15municipal employer to submit economic issues to arbitration under subd. 6.
AB150-ASA1-AA26,160,716 6. `Interest arbitration.' a. If in any collective bargaining unit a dispute
17relating to one or more issues, qualifying for interest arbitration under subd. 5s. in
18a collective bargaining unit to which subd. 5s. applies, has not been settled after a
19reasonable period of negotiation and after mediation by the commission under subd.
203. and other settlement procedures, if any, established by the parties have been
21exhausted, and the parties are deadlocked with respect to any dispute between them
22over wages, hours and conditions of employment to be included in a new collective
23bargaining agreement, either party, or the parties jointly, may petition the
24commission, in writing, to initiate compulsory, final and binding arbitration, as
25provided in this paragraph. At the time the petition is filed, the petitioning party

1shall submit in writing to the other party and the commission its preliminary final
2offer containing its latest proposals on all issues in dispute. Within 14 calendar days
3after the date of that submission, the other party shall submit in writing its
4preliminary final offer on all disputed issues to the petitioning party and the
5commission. If a petition is filed jointly, both parties shall exchange their
6preliminary final offers in writing and submit copies to the commission at the time
7the petition is filed.
