Boards of arbitration; appointment; compensation and expenses
Sec. 7. If the conciliator so named is unable to effect a settlement
of such dispute within a thirty (30) day period after his appointment,
he shall report such fact to the governor, and the governor, if he
believes that a continuation of the dispute will cause or is likely to
cause the interruption of the supply of a service on which the
community so affected is so dependent that severe hardship would be
inflicted on a substantial number of persons by a cessation of such
service, shall appoint a board of arbitration to hear and determine
such dispute. The board of arbitration shall consist of three (3)
members chosen by the governor from the board of arbitrators panel
provided for in section 4 of this chapter. A new board shall be chosen
by the governor for each separate dispute, but the same board may
hear any number of issues or grievances which are involved at the
same time in any dispute between the same employer and his
employees. Members of such board of arbitration shall be allowed
reasonable compensation for their services and for their necessary
expenses in an amount to be fixed by the governor, and such
compensation and expenses shall be shared equally by the parties to
the dispute.
