which the party requesting an arbitration has specified in the written notice of arbitration. Id. The undisputed evidence established that the Borough and the Union began collective bargaining on June 14, 2010, more than six months before the start of the fiscal year 2011. The Union, however, failed to comply with Section 4(a) of Act 111 by seeking a list of arbitrators on June 29, 2010 without bargaining with the Borough for at least 30 days, without declaring an impasse, and without listing any issues in dispute. In addition, the Union never served upon the Borough Council president written notice of arbitration containing specifications of issues in dispute, as required by Section 5 of Act 111. The Union did not properly demand an arb mis., 27 Pa.Cmwlth. 64, 366 A.2d 316, 318 (1976) (<HOLDING>). Without disputing its failure to comply with
