The Conciliation Unit of the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) provides mediation and fact-finding services when contract negotiations with unions reach an impasse. In addition, the unit provides compulsory arbitration services for "public interest" (public safety, e.g. police and fire) union contract negotiations, as well as grievance arbitration services when PERB is the contract-designated arbitrator.

The series consists of PERB case files with "A" numbers that document the binding arbitration process for public safety interest contract negotiations that have reached the impasse stage. Typically an individual file will contain: the opinion and award of the arbitration panel and dissents, if applicable; requests for arbitration; panel list(s) for the selection of arbitrators; and arbitrator report forms and related correspondence.
