§381-4 Appointment of emergency board.
Following receipt of a notice of impasse from either party as specified in
section 381-3, the director of labor and industrial relations shall forthwith
request each of the parties to designate in writing within five days a person
to serve as a member of an emergency board. The designation shall be filed in
writing with the director. The person designated by the public utility
employer shall not be an officer or director of the company or other person
normally acting in an official capacity with the utility, and the person named
by the employees shall not be an employee of the utility or a representative of
its employees. The two persons so appointed shall within three days select an
impartial person to serve with them on the emergency board. The third person
so selected shall act as chairperson. If either the public utility employer or
the employees fail to designate a member of the board, or if the two designated
members fail to agree upon a third, the governor shall, within twelve days
after the director has requested the parties to appoint members to the board,
appoint such member or members.
Members of the board shall receive compensation
at the rate of $15 for each day actually spent by them in the work of the
board, together with necessary travel and subsistence expense. Payment shall
be made by the director out of funds made available to the department of labor
and industrial relations, and upon request of the board the department shall
furnish necessary stenographic services. [L 1949, c 146, pt of §1; RL 1955,
