I.R. No. 2007-15
Synopsis:
A Commission Designee denies an application for interim relief based upon an unfair practice charge alleging that a public employer continued to negotiate collectively with a majority representative after learning that a competing employee organization had filed a representation petition. The application sought an Order requiring the employer to cease negotiations until the petition was resolved.
The Designee denied the application, finding that the charging party had not met its burden to show that it had a “substantial likelihood of success” on the merits of the charge. The Designee determined that the employer and incumbent had signed a memorandum of agreement before the petition was filed and that the agreement did not by its terms require ratification by either signator.
