2interest that municipal employees be given an opportunity to bargain collectively
3with the municipal employer through a labor organization or other representative

7a referendum. If the continuation of the agreement is not supported by at least the
8majority of the eligible employees, it shall terminate. The commission shall declare

13employer in the bargaining unit involved, and such agreement is subject to this duty
14of the commission. Any of the parties to such agreement or any public safety

23compliance would tend to result in a settlement, it may order compliance before
24ordering arbitration. The validity of any arbitration award or collective bargaining
25agreement is not affected by failure to comply with the procedures. Prior to the close

3interest arbitration under this subdivision. If a party fails to submit a single final
4offer, the commission shall close the investigation based on the last written position
5of the party. Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects of bargaining,
6except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a party if the other
7party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory subject. The parties
8shall also submit to the commission a written stipulation with respect to all matters

13shall alternately strike names from the list until a single name is left, who shall be
14appointed as arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing
15of the identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of the notice, the commission
16shall formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the
17parties. The final offers are public documents and the commission shall make them
18available. In lieu of a single arbitrator and upon request of both parties, the
19commission shall appoint a tripartite arbitration panel consisting of one member
20selected by each of the parties and a neutral person designated by the commission
21who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and
22duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all
23arbitration decisions by a panel shall be determined by majority vote. In place of
24selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the

2parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5

12which the arbitrator is appointed, the arbitrator shall hold a public hearing in the
13jurisdiction to provide the opportunity to both parties to explain or present
14supporting arguments for their positions and to members of the public to offer their
15comments and suggestions. The final offers of the parties, as transmitted by the
16commission to the arbitrator, are the basis for any continued negotiations between
17the parties with respect to the issues in dispute. At any time prior to the arbitration
18hearing, either party, with the consent of the other party, may modify its final offer
19in writing.
AB977,56,420 c. Prior to the arbitration hearing, either party may, within a time limit
21established by the arbitrator, withdraw its final offer and any mutually agreed upon
22modifications and shall immediately provide written notice of any withdrawal to the
23other party, the arbitrator, and the commission. If both parties withdraw their final
24offers and mutually agreed upon modifications, the labor organization, after giving
2510 days' written notice to the municipal employer and the commission, may strike.

1Unless both parties withdraw their final offers and mutually agreed upon
2modifications, the final offer of neither party is considered withdrawn and the
3arbitrator shall proceed to resolve the dispute by final and binding arbitration as
4provided in this paragraph.

18any prohibited practice complaint filed by either party at any time.

20submit a statement of his or her costs to both parties and to the commission.
AB977,57,321 g. If a question arises as to whether any proposal made in negotiations by either
22party is a mandatory, permissive, or prohibited subject of bargaining, the
23commission shall determine the issue under par. (b). If either party to the dispute
24petitions the commission for a declaratory ruling under par. (b), the proceedings
25under subd. 6. c. and d. may not occur until the commission renders a decision in the

1matter and the decision is final. The arbitrator's award shall be made in accordance
2with the commission's ruling, subject to automatic amendment by any subsequent
3court reversal.
