Fact-finding is ONLY available to:
1. Teachers
2. Civil service state employees.
If the parties do not reach an agreement in contract mediation, they can request an impartial fact-finder from the PERC staff or the dispute resolution panel. The fact-finder will issue a non-binding written recommendation on what the terms of the collective bargaining agreement should be. For more information, review WAC 391-55-300.
