The impasse provisions in the City charter are not unreasonable because they appear to effectuate the MMBA’s purpose of promoting “full communication between public employers and their employees by providing a reasonable method of resolving disputes regarding wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment.” (Sec. 3500(a).) The MMBA specifically allows local agencies the discretion to adopt their own impasse rules, but does not delineate what local agency impasse rules must contain.
