D.U.P. No. 2018-1
Synopsis:
The Director of Unfair Practice dismisses an unfair practice charge filed by the Trenton Education Association. The union alleged that the Board unilaterally removed five unit members from their regularly assigned work locations and duties, while being investigated for serious allegations made against them. The teachers were required to sit in a room and received no instruction to perform any tasks throughout the day. The Association further alleged that the Board did not negotiate a schedule of minor discipline with the Association. The Association alleges that the Board’s conduct allegedly violates 5.4 a(1), (5), and (7). The Director found that the Board’s decision to assign teachers to non-teaching duties was a managerial prerogative. The Director further found that the reassignments did not constitute discipline.
