Brosnan dismissed the unfair labor practice charge filed by the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local No. 150 (Charging Party) in the above-captioned case.  The Charging Party alleged that the Village of Frankfurt (Respondent) violated Section 10(a)(4) and (1) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, 5 ILCS 315 (2010), as amended (Act), by failing to execute a side letter to a collective bargaining agreement to which the parties had agreed.  The Executive Director reformed the allegations to reflect a charged violation of Section 10(a)(7) rather than 10(a)(4).  He then dismissed the charge in its entirety because a party can violate Section 10(a)(7) only if it refuses to sign an agreement after there has been a meeting of the minds on all terms, and he found no evidence the parties had reached a meeting of the minds. |  |  |  | Date Created: | 03 26 2012 |  |  |  | Agency ID: | Case No. S-CA-11-227 |  |  |  | ISL ID: | 000000048022   Original UID: 170112 FIRST WORD: Decisions |  |
