Glendale Firefighters Association Local 776

"...Firefighters, paramedics, deputy sheriffs, lifeguards, police officers, and other first responders cannot suspend emergency services when labor negotiations reach an impasse. The public depends on them regardless of the status of bargaining, and their duty to respond does not stop when contract disputes remain unresolved.
Binding arbitration provides a fair, reasonable, and impartial process to address that reality. It gives public safety
employees a meaningful path to resolve bargaining impasses while ensuring that essential emergency services continue without disruption."
