CA Pub Util Code Section 101342

In the event the board and the representatives of the employees do not agree to submit the dispute to an arbitration board as provided in Section 101341, the State Conciliation Service may be notified by either party that a dispute exists and that there is no agreement to arbitrate. The State Conciliation Service shall determine whether or not the dispute may be resolved by the parties and, if not, the issues concerning which the dispute exists. Upon such determination, the State Conciliation 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 which shall immediately convene and inquire into and investigate the issues involved in the dispute. The commission 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 dispute arose and service to the public shall be provided.
