provisions - Disputes.

Any agreement actually negotiated between the bargaining agent

and the corporate authorities either before or within thirty (30)

days after arbitration shall constitute the collective bargaining

contract governing full-time firefighters in the Rural Fire

Protection District for the period stated therein; provided that

such period shall not exceed one (1) year. Any collective

bargaining agreement negotiated under the terms and provisions of

this act shall specifically provide that the full-time firefighters

in the Rural Fire Protection District 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, district practices and manner of

conducting the operation and administration of Rural Fire Protection

Districts currently in effect on the effective date of any

negotiated agreement shall be deemed a part of the agreement 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 under that agreement. In the absence

of such negotiated procedure, the dispute may be submitted to

arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this act, except

that the arbitration board shall be convened within ten (10) days

after demand therefor by the bargaining agent upon the corporate

authority or authorities. In such case the arbitration board's

determination shall be final.
