-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 | |
