I.R. No. 2009-8
Synopsis:
A Commission Designee denies an interim relief application seeking rescission of unilaterally implemented changes to the selected prescription drug plan coverages of certain married unit employees. The public employer allegedly converted “family coverage” jointly selected by unit employee spouses to one “individual” and one “parent and child” coverage(s). The changes, which did not reduce benefits, saved the public employer money.
The Designee found that the charging party did not demonstrate a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of its case. A recent grievance arbitration award on the nearly-identical issue denied the charging party’s grievance. The charge was referred to the Director of Unfair Practices to determine if further processing was required.
