D.U.P. No. 80-14
Synopsis:
The Director of Unfair Practices declines to issue a complaint with respect to an employer's claim under N.J.S.A. 34:13A-5.4(b)(3) that the majority representative of police refused to negotiate in good faith by failing to commence negotiations with the employer within four days of the employer's correspondence soliciting the representative's negotiations intentions. Noting the Commission's standard that a Respondent's refusal to negotiate requires an examination of a totality of conduct, the Director observes that the Unfair Practice Charge does not set forth facts indicating a totality of conduct. While the representative's failure to respond to the Township's inquiry may constitute a violation of §(b)(3), such a violation is de minimis in nature and is not a basis for complaint issuance.
