CCR1986211RESOLUTION #211-86
REQUESTING LEGISLATORS TO REVISE WISCONSIN'S
MEDIATION-ARBITRATION LAW
WHEREAS, the existing mediation-arbitration law empowers
arbitrators to impose settlements when negotiation and mediation
efforts fail with an all-or-nothing procedure, and
WHEREAS, each side submits one last offer to the arbitrator, who
selects one, but it cannot be changed at all, and the chosen
proposal becomes the contract, and
WHEREAS, more emphasis should be placed on settling disputes
through mediation, and
WHEREAS, the all-or-nothing procedure should be revised in order
to allow the arbitrator to pick out pieces of each side's
proposal, and
WHEREAS, an arbitration panel made up of at least one local
representative would better serve the needs of both the employer
and the employee.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council of the
City of Muskego does hereby request the Wisconsin Legislature to
revise the mediation-arbitration law to place more emphasis on
procedure to allow the arbitrator to pick out pieces of each
settling disputes through mediation, amend the all-or-nothing
side's final proposal, and create an arbitration panel to include
one local representative.
