Description
BURKE, Justice This appeal presents a single question: whether the compulsory binding arbitration right provided in AS 23.40.200(b)
applies to all employees in a particular bargaining unit, when some of the employees belong to classes not expressly given
the statutory right. We hold that statute does not provide arbitration rights for all employees in a mixed bargaining unit;
therefore, we affirm. Fairbanks is a municipality covered by the Alaska Public Employment Relations Act, AS 23.40.070-.260. By decision of the
state agency which administers the Act, 1 the city was divided into several bargaining units, and city employees were able
to decide who would represent them in contract negotiations. The APEA represents one of these bargaining units; its group
comprises about fifty employees, including supervisors in the police and fire departments, engineers, building inspectors,
and general support staff personnel.
