HomeMy WebLinkAboutResolutions 1995 (40) RESOLUTION TO MODIFY MEDIATION /ARBITRATION PROCESS
( s�
WHEREAS, St. Croix County continues to be concerned about the
status of labor negotiations as legislated by the state and
WHEREAS, St. Croix County feels that its extensive experiences in
labor negotiations with five different unions gives it a good
perspective on mediation /arbitration issues and
WHEREAS, St. Croix County sees a need to modify the process of
labor negotiations to resolve contractual issues and
WHEREAS, St. Croix County is dedicated to providing on-going public
service to its citizenry and an employee strike would not be in the
best interest of such public service,
AND WHEREAS, St. Croix County believes that the current status of
unionized County employees and binding arbitration is not clarified
adequately in the statutes and newly adopted legislation,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the St. Croix County Board of
Supervisors advocates for a modification of WI Statute 111.70,
Municipal Employment Relations, which would provide for the same
labor negotiations process as is made available to the state's
unionized workforce;
Specifically that Counties be governed by statutes similar to:
WI Statute 111.86 which provides for grievance arbitration;
WI Statute 111.87 which provides for mediation services, but does
not give the mediator nor the commission the compulsory power in
mediation proceedings;
WI Statute 111.88 which provides for fact - finding and recommen-
dations, but does not require binding arbitration and permits
employer implementation of final contractual proposals, and;
WI Statute 111.89 which prohibits strikes.
