(1) The
director may exercise jurisdiction over any dispute between employer and
employee affecting conditions of employment, or with respect to wages or hours,
only when the employer and the employee request such intervention or when the
dispute, as determined by the executive director, affects the public interest, and
such jurisdiction shall continue until after the final hearing of such dispute and the
entry of the final award therein or until said director shall enter an order disposing
of or terminating such jurisdiction. The relation of the employer and employee shall
continue uninterrupted by the dispute or anything arising out of the dispute until
the final determination thereof by said director; and neither the employer nor any
employee affected by any such dispute shall alter the conditions of employment
with respect to wages or hours or any other condition of said employment; neither
shall they, on account of such dispute, do or be concerned in doing directly or
indirectly anything in the nature of a lockout or strike or suspension or
discontinuance of work or employment.

(2) A request for intervention shall be submitted to the director by both the
employer and the employee and shall set forth the facts, issues, or demands
involved in the controversy or dispute, and each party to such dispute shall furnish
the director such information within the time and as may be requested by the
director.

(3) If either party uses this or any other provision of articles 1 to 18 of this
title and part 3 of article 34 of title 24, C.R.S., for the purpose of unjustly
maintaining a given condition of affairs through delay, such party is guilty of a
misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more
than one hundred dollars.

(4) The director shall proceed with reasonable diligence in hearing all
disputes and shall render a final award or decision therein without unnecessary
delay.
