who are subject to its terms shall have no right to engage in any
work stoppage, slowdown or strike, the consideration for such
provision being the right to a resolution of disputed questions. All
rules, regulations, fiscal procedures, working conditions,
departmental practices and manner of conducting the operation and
administration of fire departments and police departments currently
in effect on the effective date of any negotiated agreement shall be
deemed a part of said agreement unless and except as modified or
changed by the specific terms of such agreement. Every such
agreement shall contain a clause establishing arbitration procedures
for the immediate and speedy resolution and determination of any
dispute which may arise involving the interpretation or application
of any of the provisions of such agreement or the actions of any of
the parties thereunder. In the absence of such negotiated procedure
