-vs- Village of Ford Heights: Petitioner Village of Ford Heights (Village) entered into a two-year intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the County of Cook and the Cook County Sheriff's Department (collectively, Cook County) without bargaining over that decision with the collective bargaining representative, respondent Metropolitan Alliance of Police, Ford Heights Chapter #243 (Union). The net effect of the IGA was dissolution of the Ford Heights Police Department and termination of four members of the bargaining unit. Under the IGA, Cook County assumed all law enforcement duties formerly conducted by the Village's police department exchange for a $3,000 monthly stipend. The respondent Illinois Labor Relations Board (Board) found the Village committed an unfair labor practice by unilaterally entering into the IGA agreement because in IGA was a mandatory subject of bargaining. The Board ordered the Village to rescind the IGA and to make whole the members of the bargaining unit. The Village claims the Board committed clear error by determining that the benefits of bargaining outweighed the burdens that bargaining would impose on the Village's inherent managerial authority. | | | | Date Created: | 07 02 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-CA-09-055; No. 1-11-0284 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000050242 Original UID: 171183 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |

| 35: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2010 November | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Service Employees International Union, Local 73 and Illinois State Toll Highway Authority: Respondent Service Employees International Union, Local 73 (the Union), filed an unfair labor practice charge against petitioner, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (The Tollway). The Union charged that the Tollway violated an employee's right to union representation under National Labor Relations Board v. J. Weingarten, Inc., 420 U.S. 251, 43 L. Ed. 2d 171, 95 S. Ct. 959(1975), and sections 10(a)(1) and (a)(4) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (Act) (5 ILCS 315/10(a)(1), 10(a)(4) (West 2008)), by not providing the employee with advance notice about the topic of investigation before the Tollway conducted an investigative interview. Respondent Illinois Labor Relations Board, State Panel (ILRB), determined that, although a union representative was provided to the employee during the investigative interview, the Tollway's failure to provide advance notice about the topic of the interview violated her right to meaningful union representation and constituted an unfair labor practice. The Tollway appeals. We hold that, while the ILRB correctly determined that the employee was entitled to advance notice about the subject matter of the interview, she was also required to request such advance notice. We therefore set aside the ILRB's order. | | | | Date Created: | 01 04 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-CA-07-155; No. 2-09-0763 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000050279 Original UID: 171221 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |

On appeal, Pace contends that this court should reverse the Board because: (1) Panikowski failed to prove that her discharge was motivated by antiunion animus; (@) the Board's order was based solely on a finding that Pace offered shifting explanations for discharging Panikowski, which alone is not sufficient to establish that it had an improper motive for discharging Panikowski; (3) the Board erred in refusing to consider Pace's argument that it had a legitimate business reason for discharging Panikowski; and (4) the Board improperly relied on evidence of conduct that occurred outside of the Act's six-month statute of limitations. | | | | Date Created: | 05 13 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-CA-05-217; No. 1-09-2582 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000050281 Original UID: 171223 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
