ERB’s State Conciliation Service:
Assists public employers, public employees, and labor organizations in resolving labor disputes through mediation, training, and facilitation. We have 3 mediators (including the State Conciliator) and a mediation coordinator. We also maintain a panel of qualified Arbitrators and Factfinders for referral, upon request, to parties in contract grievance, voluntary factfinding, and interest arbitration disputes.
See our
overview for the dispute resolution process under the Public Employee Collective Bargaining Act (PECBA) for more information on the role of the State Conciliation Service in resolving collective bargaining disputes.
