Abstract
Interest arbitrators generally consider at least three decision criter ia when formulating their arbitration awards. Among these criteria is wage comparability. Making a comparison of wages and benefits is a com plex task. This article examines two components of that task. Using a sample of public sector interest arbitration awards, this study identi fies the factors arbitrators indicate they use in forming comparable e mployee groups and examines the comments arbitrators make about dispen sing distributive justice.
