Colorado Revised Statutes Title 8. Labor and Industry § 8-3-112. Arbitration

(1) Parties to a labor dispute may agree in writing to have the director act as arbitrator or to name arbitrators to arbitrate all or any part of such dispute, and thereupon the director shall have the power so to act. The director shall appoint as arbitrators only competent, impartial, and disinterested persons. Proceedings in any such arbitration shall be as provided by the rules of arbitration under the Colorado rules of civil procedure.

(2) All parties to any labor dispute when the employer is an authority shall submit to arbitration upon written order of the director when such written order is the result of the procedure set forth in section 8-3-113(3). Any order so given shall be subject to appeal within five days of the receipt of such order by either the employee's representative or the authority, who are parties in interest. Appeal of the order shall be made to the district court in the judicial district where the most substantial number of the employees concerned are employed. Such court shall either confirm, deny, amend, or continue the order within sixty days following the application for appeal. The results of any arbitration conducted in accordance with the procedure set forth in this article shall be binding upon all parties in interest with the right of appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction on the grounds that the director or arbitration board has been unfair, capricious, or unjust in its conduct, determinations, or award.
