(a) The fact finding commission shall appoint a time and place for hearing and cause notification to the parties consisting of the bargaining agent and the corporate authorities to be served personally or by registered mail not less than five (5) days before the hearing. Appearance at the hearing waives such notice requirement. The fact finding commission may adjourn the hearing from time to time as necessary, and on request of a party for good cause, or upon their own motion, may postpone the hearing. The fact finding commission may hear and determine the controversy upon the evidence produced notwithstanding the failure of a party duly notified to appear.
(b)  All interested parties are entitled to be heard, to present evidence material to the controversy and to cross-examine witnesses appearing at the hearing.
