Hello and welcome to the WERC website! Our agency serves the citizens of Wisconsin by promoting peaceful and effective employment relations in the municipal, state and private sectors. WERC is a small, independent agency headquartered in Madison, with several professional staff members stationed in other communities around the State. WERC Commissioners and staff travel the State conducting hearings and issuing labor relations decisions in administrative law and contract grievance disputes; mediating contract negotiation and grievance disputes; conducting secret-ballot employe votes; and providing labor management cooperation training and facilitation. The agency also provides labor and management with lists of qualified ad hoc neutrals not employed by WERC, for a variety of statutory and contractual dispute resolution procedures. In 2003, the WERC also became responsible for hearing and deciding appeals relating to certain State Civil Service personnel actions, in cases that are sometimes referred to as "personnel appeals."

This website is intended to provide information about, and easy access to the WERC and its personnel and services. Links to the major site content categories appear at the top left corner of this page and the bottom of most other pages, and a more detailed site map appears below. We hope you find our site useful, and we invite your comments, questions and suggestions about it.
