Boards of arbitration; findings, decision, and order
Sec. 11. The board of arbitration shall hand down its findings,
decision, and order (referred to in this section as its order) within
sixty (60) days after its appointment; provided, however, that the
governor may for good cause extend said period for not to exceed an
additional sixty (60) days. If all three (3) members of the board do
not agree, the order of the majority shall constitute the order of the
board. The board shall furnish to each of the parties a copy of its
order. A certified copy thereof shall be filed in the office of the clerk
of the circuit court of the county wherein the dispute arose or in the
office of the clerk of the circuit court of any county where the
employer operates or maintains an office or place of business. Unless
such order is reversed upon a petition for review filed pursuant to the
provisions of section 12 of this chapter, such order, together with
such agreements as the parties may themselves have reached, shall
become binding upon and shall control the relationship between the
parties from the date such order is filed with the clerk of the circuit
court as aforesaid and shall continue effective for one (1) year from
that date, but such order may be changed by mutual consent or
agreement of the parties. No order of the board relating to wages or
rates of pay shall be retroactive to a date before the date of the
termination of any contract which may have existed between the
parties, or, if there was no such contract, to a date before the day on
which the governor appointed a conciliator in such dispute.
