2007 House Bill 4213

Revise fire and police binding arbitration law

Introduced in the House

Feb. 7, 2007

Introduced by Rep. David Agema (R-74)

To revise the law that provides for binding arbitration in labor disputes between municipalities and police or firefighter unions so as to allow the arbitrator to impose a settlement that falls somewhere between the last offer of the employer or the last demand of the union. Under current law the arbitrator must choose between those two options, and may not craft a compromise.

Referred to the Committee on Labor
