I.R. No. 2009-19
Synopsis:
A Commission Designee denies an application for interim relief on a charge alleging that the Newark Housing Authority violated the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act by unilaterally abolishing a position, laying off affected employees and re-employing most of them into a new position, but did not place the new position in the existing unit, all during negotiations for a new collective agreement. The Authority disputed the underlying reasons for abolishing one position and creating another, and the union filed a clarification of unit petition (CU) to place the new title in its unit. The Commission Designee found that material facts were disputed preventing a conclusion that a substantial likelihood of success had been established. The Designee also concluded that the unit placement of the new title was better resolved through the CU petition.
