REFUSAL TO ISSUE COMPLAINT
On June 1, 1993, Larry S. Loigman, Esq. filed an unfair practice charge with the Public Employment Relations Commission against the Township of Middletown and Middletown PBA Local 124. Loigman, in his capacity as a concerned resident, citizen and taxpayer, challenges the conduct of negotiations between the PBA and the Township.
The Unfair Practice Rules of the Commission, N.J.A.C . 19:14-1, entitled "Who may file", provides:
A charge that any public employer or public employee organization has engaged or is engaging
in any unfair practice listed in subsections (a) and (b) of N.J.S.A . 34:13A-5.4 may be filed by any public employer, public employee, public employee organization, or their representative.
Loigman is neither a public employer, public employee, public employee organization, or their representative. Thus, under N.J.A.C . 19:14-1, he is not entitled to file the instant unfair practice charge with the Commission. Therefore, I refuse to issue a complaint and dismiss this unfair practice charge.
