Abstract

The state of Ohio has enacted public sector legislation giving to public employees substantial bargaining rights. The major provisions of this legislation, known as Senate Bill 133, took effect April 1, 1984. This focus of this article is upon a controversial section of the bill, ORC 4117, dealing with impasse resolution. Three hundred-and-sixty-two public jurisdictions responded to a questionnaire designed to survey the effectiveness and utility of S.B. 133 impasse procedures. Results of this study indicate that impasse resolution machinery under the bill is in need of substantial revision. Impasse resolution in other states is also reviewed.
