Sympathy for safety forces may sting taxpayers
New Castle voters approved binding arbitration for police and firemen by a 6 244 to 2 289 margin in November 1967. The law shifts wage talks to a three member arbitration panel if a stalemate occurs, with city council then bound to the panel's terms. The dispute now centers on whether police can recoursingly join arbitration and how the statute's deadlines apply, a decision that could set local tax and wage precedents for years.
