It shall be the duty of the secretary, in order to prevent or minimize
interruptions growing out of labor disputes, to assist parties to labor disputes to
settle such disputes through conciliation and mediation.
The secretary may proffer his or her services in any labor dispute either upon
his or her own motion or upon the request of one or more of the parties to the
dispute. Whenever the secretary proffers his or her services in any dispute and
the services of the secretary have been accepted, it shall be the duty of the
secretary to put himself or herself in communication with the parties and to use
his or her best efforts, by mediation and conciliation, to bring them to
agreement.
If the secretary is not able to bring the parties to agreement by mediation within
a reasonable time, he or she shall seek to induce the parties voluntarily to seek
other means of settling the dispute without resort to strike, lockout, or other
coercion. The failure or refusal of either party to agree to any procedure
suggested by the secretary shall not be deemed a violation of any duty or
obligation imposed by KRS 336.151 and 336.152.
