PUC §120503: In the event the board and the representatives of the employees do not agree to submit the dispute to an arbitration panel as provided in Section 120502, the State Conciliation Service may be notified

In the event the board and the representatives of the employees do not agree to submit the dispute to an arbitration panel as provided in Section 120502, the State Conciliation Service may be notified by either party that a labor dispute exists and that there is no agreement to arbitrate. The service shall determine whether or not the labor dispute may be resolved by the parties and, if not, the issues concerning which the dispute exists. Upon such determination, the service shall certify its findings to the Governor of the State of California who shall, within 10 days of receipt of certification, appoint a factfinding commission consisting of three persons. The commission shall immediately convene and inquire into and investigate the issues involved in the dispute and shall report to the Governor within 30 days of the date of its creation. After the creation of such commission, and for 30 days after such commission has made its report to the Governor, no change, except by mutual agreement, shall be made by the parties to the controversy in the conditions out of which the labor dispute arose and service to the public shall be provided.
