Accordingly, he recommended that the Board find Respondent violated Sections 10(a)(4) and derivatively, (1), of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, 5 ILCS 315/10(a)(1), (4)(2008), by refusing to bargain in good faith with the Policemen's Benevolent Labor Committee (Charging Party) in that the Respondent's agents failed to recommend that the Respondent's City Council adopt a tentative agreement reached during interest arbitration and in that it either failed to disclose restrictions placed on its legal representative's authority to bargain on its behalf, or retroactively repudiated that authority. The Administrative's Law Judge further recommended the Board deny the Respondent's request for a variance form the Board's Rules and Regulations, 80 Ill. Admin. Code Parts 1200 through 1240, pursuant to Section 1200.160 pf those rules, and deny the Charging Party's request for the award of costs and attorney's fees. | | | Date Created: | 02 01 2011 | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-CA-09-217 | | | ISL ID: | 000000050239 Original UID: 171180 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
