Bill Introduced to Speed Up Contract Negotiations Between Public Employers and Police and Fire Unions

Download PDFPrintShare

A bill (A2243) recently was introduced to accelerate the process for resolving contract negotiations between public employers and police and fire unions.  There are currently no time restrictions for the fact finding and mediation portions of police and fire contract negotiations.  This bill would provide a 60-day limit for each stage, and if the parties move to interest arbitration, the arbitrator would have to render a decision within 120 days.
