Unfair Labor Practice Not Found: Charging Party’s Fail to Plead Any Facts That, If Proven True, Could Establish a Claim Under PERA; Charging Party’s Belief as It Related to a Contract Clause Purportedly Relied Upon by Respondent to Justify Its Actions Was Misplaced and Was Grounded, Incorrectly, on the Idea that the Absences Referenced by Respondent in Sending Charging Party to a “Return to Work Examination” Were the Absences He Had Accrued After Being Reinstated; Respondent’s Pleadings and Letters Sent to Charging Party Notifying Him of Its Requirement that Charing Party Appear for the Examination Indicate that the Examination Requirement Was Predicated on the Fact that Charging Party Had Been Away from Work for More than Two Years While His Grievance Remained Pending; Charging Party’s Claim that Respondent’s Action Was a Result of His Prior “Successful Grievance” Was Only Supported by the Close Proximity of Time Between His Return to Work and the Actions That Led to His Termination; Temporal Proximity Alone is Not Sufficient to Establish a § 10(1)(c) Violation.

Ypsilanti Charter Township
-and- Michigan AFSCME Council 25, AFL-CIO, Local 3541 -and-
