ERC 33.10(8) (8) Agreement by operation of law. On the 90th day prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified economic offer, if no agreement exists on that day, the parties are deemed to have stipulated to the inclusion in a new or revised collective bargaining agreement of all provisions of any predecessor collective bargaining agreement concerning economic issues, or of all provisions of any existing collective bargaining agreement concerning economic issues if the parties have reopened negotiations under an existing agreement, as modified by the terms of the qualified economic offer and as otherwise modified by the parties. In such a collective bargaining unit, on and after that 90th day, a municipal employer that refuses to bargain collectively with respect to the terms of that stipulation, applicable to the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified economic offer, does not violate s. 111.70 (3) (a) 4., Stats. Any such unilateral implementation during the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period included within a qualified economic offer operates as a full, final and complete settlement of all economic issues between the parties for the period included within the qualified economic offer. The failure of an exclusive representative to recognize the validity of such a lawful qualified economic offer does not affect the obligation of the municipal employer to submit economic issues to arbitration under s. 111.70 (4) (cm) 6., Stats.

ERC 33.13(1)(1)  Contents generally. Final offers shall contain proposals relating only to mandatory subjects of bargaining, except either final offer may contain proposals relating to permissive subjects of bargaining if there is no timely objection under s. ERC 33.14 or 33.15 by the other party to the inclusion of the proposals in a final offer. Absent a timely objection, the proposals shall be treated as mandatory subjects of bargaining for the duration of the s. 111.70 (4) (cm), Stats., impasse resolution process, including any exchanges of final offers which may follow declaratory ruling proceedings under s. ERC 33.15 or injunction proceedings referred to in s. ERC 33.22.

ERC 33.13(2) (2) Contents regarding economic issues, term of agreement, reopener provisions and salary structure.

ERC 33.13(3) (3) Modification of final offers following close of investigation. After the investigation, a party may modify its final offer only with the consent of the other party. A modification shall be in writing, supported by a written statement signed by the representative of the other party.

ERC 33.16(1) (1)  Time for raising objection. After a stipulation is reached under ss. ERC 33.11 and 32.09 (2) or after an agreement is reached by operation of law under s. ERC 33.10 (8) on all economic issues to be included in a new or reopened agreement and prior to close of the investigation of an interest arbitration petition, either party may raise an objection that a proposal is an economic issue not subject to interest arbitration.

ERC 33.16(2) (2) Filing an objection. An objection that a proposal is an economic issue not subject to interest arbitration shall be filed with the commission as a petition for declaratory ruling under s. 227.41, Stats., and ch. ERC 19. During the pendency of a petition for declaratory ruling, the investigation of the petition for interest arbitration shall not be closed.

ERC 33.16(3) (3) Procedure following issuance of declaratory ruling. Following the issuance and service of the declaratory ruling, the commission or its investigator shall conduct further investigation or hearing for the purpose of obtaining the final offer of each party before closing the investigation.

ERC 33.23(1) (1)  Who must file.
