Arbitration rules for law enforcement workers

Washington law defines binding arbitration for law enforcement workers’ disputes over discipline, discharge, or termination. This process applies only when the worker’s collective bargaining agreement provides for it. Arbitration requests must follow that agreement’s procedures. This rule creates no direct household payment or benefit.
