Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to binding arbitration for court clerks and uniformed court officers of the unified court system
Purpose
Establishes a binding arbitration system in the event of disputes reaching impasse in collective negotiations for certain represented members of the uniformed court system.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Adds a new subdivision 6 to Section 209 of the Civil Service Law, to provide for the referral of an impasse between the public employee organization representing certain members of the unified court system. The three member panel will consist of: 1) one member appointed by the Unified Court System; 2) one member appointed by the employee organization; and 3) one member jointly appointed by the parties. The panel would have full authority to resolve the matters in dispute and issue a determination which is final and binding upon the parties,
Existing law
None.
Justification
Binding arbitration is a mechanism that has been used successfully for many years to address labor disputes in both the private and public sectors. Currently, there is no such mechanism for groups in the Unified Court System. Therefore, under current law, negotiating units of the Unified Court System must seek legislative resolution of labor impasses.
