C05 H-170 & C05 J-260

Mt. Pleasant School District
-and- AFSCME Council 25
-and- Robert Browne

Unfair Labor Practice Not Found - Charge Against Respondent Employer Dismissed as Untimely Filed Pursuant to the PERA Six-month Statute of Limitations, and for Failure to Provide a Factual Basis which would Support a Finding that Charging Party Engaged in Any Activity Protected Under PERA for which he was Subject to Discrimination or Retaliation; Charge Against Respondent Union Dismissed for Failure to State a Claim Under PERA which would Establish that the Union Acted Arbitrarily, Discriminatorily, or In Bad Faith in Determining How and Whether to Proceed with Charging Party’s Grievance in Violation of its Duty of Fair Representation.

5/29/09
(20 Day Order)

C09 A-007 & CU09 A-001

City of St. Clair Shores -and- St. Clair Shores Fire Fighters Union, Local 1744

Unfair Labor Practice Not Found - Respondent’s Unilateral Change of Retiree’s Healthcare Benefits did not Violate PERA; Because the Health Care Changes Implemented by Respondent Did Not Affect the Future Benefits of Actively Employed Bargaining Unit Members, Respondent Did Not Unilaterally Alter the Terms and Conditions of Employment in Violation of PERA.  Employer has Statutory Duty to Bargain Only Over Mandatory Subjects of Bargaining; Health Care Benefits for Retired Employees is a Permissive Subject of Bargaining that Did Not Become Mandatory Despite Parties’ Inclusion of a Provision in the Collective Bargaining Agreement Regarding that Matter.  Because a Claim for Repudiation of a Provision of a Collective Bargaining Agreement Addressing a Permissive Subject of Bargaining may be Enforced Only by an Action for Breach of Contract, Respondent Did Not Violate PERA by Failing to Comply with the Provision Governing Health Care Benefits for Retired Employees.  Retirees are not Public Employees and are not Bargaining Unit Members under PERA; Because Charging Party is Not the Exclusive Bargaining Representative for Retired Employees, Respondent has No Statutory Duty to Bargain with Charging Party Over Their Benefits; Respondent Did Not Undermine Charging Party’s Exclusive Representative Authority or Engage in Unlawful Direct Dealing by Discussing the Retiree’s Benefits with Them.  Charge Summarily Dismissed for Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief Could Be Granted Under PERA.

C08 L-243

Wayne County
– and – Robert J. Skrzypczak, Jr

Unfair Labor Practice Found: Employer Interfered with Charging Party’s Section 9 rights to Engage in Protected Concerted Activity; When an Employer Expressly Prohibits an Employee From Engaging In Section 9 Rights, the Prohibition is Inherently Destructive ; As such, a Violation Occurs Irrespective of Employer’s Motivation.

Unfair Labor Practice Not Found: Employer had Lawful Reasons to Terminate Charging Party; To Establish a Prima Facie Case of Discrimination, Charging Party Must Show that Employer’s Decision to Discharge or Otherwise Adversely Affect an Employee was Motivated by the Employee’s Union or Other Protected Activity; When a Prima Facie Case of Discrimination has Been Met, the Burden Shifts to Employer to Demonstrate that it Would Have Taken Adverse Action Even in the Absence of Protected Activity; Ultimately Charging Party Bears Burden of Proof.

5/22/09
 

C07 E-092

Hamtramck Fire Fighters Association, Local 750, IAFF, AFL-CIO
-and- City of Hamtramck

Unfair Labor Practice Not Found - Although Fire Chief Position Serves as the Bargaining Representative for Charging Party, Enforcement of Agreement Requiring Promotion to Fire Chief Position from Respondent’s Bargaining Unit Does Not Violate PERA where the Collective Bargaining Agreement Allows for Non-Union Bargaining Unit Membership; Agreement Involves No Inherent Conflict of Interest and Imposes No Unlawful Restraint Upon Charging Party’s Right to Select its Bargaining Representatives, thus Charging Party Failed to State a Claim Under Which Relief Can Be Granted. 

5/22/09
 

CU07 G-032

City of Pontiac -and- Pontiac Housing Commission
-and- AFSCME Council 25

Unfair Labor Practice Not Found - Summary Disposition of Charge against Respondent City is Warranted where Statute has Severed Co-Employer Relationship and Respondent Housing Commission is the Sole Employer of Affected Bargaining Unit Members; Because an Amendment to the Charge which Adds a New Party creates a New Cause of Action, Charging Party’s Attempt to Amend its Original Charge to include Respondent Housing Commission is Barred by PERA’s Six-month Statute of Limitations; Charge Alleging Refusal to Bargain is Defective Absent Showing of a Timely Bargaining Demand on Respondent Housing Commission by Charging Party; One Employee in Position Represented by Charging Party is Insufficient to Constitute a Bargaining Unit under PERA.  

5/21/09
 

C05 F-128 & C07 C-049
Pontiac School District
– and – Ann Gracia

Charge Withdrawn – Charge Withdrawn Per Request of Charging Party. Unfair Labor Practice Not Found.

5/22/09
 

C08 K-239

Leoni Charter Township -and- Leoni Township Fire Fighters, Local 1766

Unfair Labor Practice Not Found - Because None of the Duties Respondent Proposed to Transfer to its Non-unit Employees had been Exclusively Performed by Charging Party’s Bargaining Unit Members, Respondent Had No Duty to Bargain Over the Transfer; Because Training Opportunity Offered by Respondent Directly to Bargaining Unit Members was Voluntary and was Not a Mandatory Subject of Bargaining, Respondent Did Not Engage in Unlawful Direct Dealing and Had No Obligation to Bargain with Charging Party Over that Matter.

Unfair Labor Practice Found - Because Respondent’s Threat to Close Operations was Made in Response to Bargaining Unit Members’ Refusal to Publicly Support its Initiative, the Threat Unlawfully Interfered With the Members’ Exercise of their Protected Rights in Violation of PERA.

5/20/09
(20 Day Order)

C08 D-060

Buchanan Community Schools
– and – Buchanan Community Schools Transportation Association, MEA-NEA

5/13/09
 

C09 A-015

Buchanan Community Schools
– and – Buchanan Community Schools Transportation Association, MEA-NEA

Charge Withdrawn – Matter Settled and Charge Withdrawn Per Request of Charging Parties; Unfair Labor Practice Found; An Employer Must Participate in the Statutory Mediation Process as Administered by the Commission; Participation in Mediation is Part of Employer’s Duty to Bargain in Good Faith; Failure to Respond to a Show Cause Order may Result in an Adverse Decision Against Failing Party on Summary Disposition.

5/12/09
 

C09 A-013

Detroit Public Schools
–and- Danon Wesley

Unfair Labor Practice Not Found: Charging Party’s Response to Show Cause Order Failed to Allege Any Facts to Support a Claim Under PERA; Absent a Factually Supported Allegation that the Employer took Action Against an Employee for Engaging in Conduct Protected by Section 9 of PERA, the Commission is Prohibited from Making a Judgment on the Merits or Fairness of the Employer’s Action.
