Act No. 81 (S.78). Executive Branch; Judiciary Employees Labor Relations Act;
binding interest arbitration
An act relating to binding interest arbitration for employees of the Vermont
Judiciary
This act permits an impasse in collective bargaining negotiations between the
Vermont Judiciary and its employees to be resolved by an arbitrator when
requested by either party as an alternative to requiring such an impasse to be
submitted to the Vermont Labor Relations Board. This act also repeals the
existing law requiring the Vermont Judiciary and its employees’ collective
bargaining representative to agree in advance to a mediation and arbitration
process in lieu of the default dispute resolution process. The other aspects of the
dispute resolution process for these contract negotiations remain the same as in
current law.
