The state administrative agency in public sector labor relations acts as an impartial third party, administering legislation concerning public sector labor relations. When a dispute arises about any aspect of the labor-management relationship covered by law, the administrative agency steps in to resolve the dispute in a fair and impartial way. The rules and regulations of each state administrative agency specify what steps will be used to resolve such disputes. This guide is intended to summarize the rules and regulations of administrative agencies in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The rules and regulations are those in effect as of August 1, 1975, and concern state employees, teachers and other school employees, county employees, municipal employees, police, and fire fighters. Each state's rules and regulations are summarized according to methods of dispute and dispute resolution including representation, unfair labor practices, and negotiation disputes or impasse procedures. Names and addresses of midwestern administrative agencies and forms required by administrative agencies are included. (Author/JM)
