Until now, there had not been mutual agreement between the parties on an arbitrator.
Your committee is currently in the process of putting together presentations and briefs for the arbitration dates.
The third-year wage reopener is part of the current collective agreement, which outlines if both parties are not able to reach a negotiated agreement on all wage reopener items, including wage salary grid adjustments to the Correctional Peace Officer III classification, then negotiations will be referred to third-party, binding arbitration.
Your committee thanks you for the ongoing patience and resolve you’ve shown throughout negotiations.
