Introduced by Rep. David Agema (R) on February 7, 2007, 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 House Labor Committee on February 7, 2007.
