D.U.P. No. 2012-2
Synopsis:
The Director of Unfair Practices dismisses an unfair practice charge filed by North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue against the North Hudson Firefighters Association. The charge alleges that the Association violated 5.4b(1), (3), and (5) of the Act when the Association filed an unfair practice charge and abrogated the parties' contractual grievance procedure. The Director finds that the Commission uses several mechanisms to dispose of charges, including the deferral of disputes over contractual terms and conditions to grievance procedures, and the Association, like the Regional, has the right to file charges. Accordingly, the Director declines to issue a complaint.
