Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring that the grievance arbitration provisions of an expired collective bargaining agreement signed after October 1, 2005 that concern the "static status quo" remain in effect until a new contract is executed may result in additional arbitration costs to public employers, the University of Maine System, the Maine Community College System and Maine Maritime Academy.  Because this legislation is effective on a prospective basis only, any additional arbitration costs can be factored into new contract negotiations.  Therefore, this requirement is not a mandate.
