Chapter ERC 32 - Collective bargaining and interest arbitration in municipal sector disputes not involving law enforcement or fire fighting employees
Section ERC 32.02 - Policy

The policy of the state is to encourage voluntary settlement of labor disputes in municipal employment through the procedures of collective bargaining. If the procedures fail, the parties should have available to them a fair, speedy, effective and above all, peaceful procedure for settlement including, where a deadlock exists after negotiations and after mediation by the commission, a procedure for the resolution of the dispute by interest arbitration. Parties subject to s. 111.70(4) (cm), Stats., shall, upon request, provide the commission with information the commission considers necessary to meet its statutory responsibilities to report on the operation of the interest arbitration law under s. 111.70(4) (cm), Stats., and on its effect on collective bargaining in the state.
