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.
