Public employers cannot violate Civil Service Law §209-a.2(a), which addresses improper employee organizations practices
Angela Fail-Maynard and Long Beach City School District and Long Beach Administrators? Union, Decisions of the Director #29565

The Director dismissed the charge, as amended, against the District ruling that public employers cannot violate Civil Service Law §209-a.2(a), the Taylor Law.*

§209-a.2(a) prohibits ?Improper employee organization practices? and bars an employee organization or its agents from deliberately interfering with, restraining or coercing public employees in the exercise of their rights under the Taylor Law or attempting to cause a public employer violate such rights given by statute to the employee.

The Director also dismissed the amended charge alleging that the Union breached its duty of fair representation ruling that there were no facts to arguably establish the Union?s conduct as arbitrary, discriminatory or in bad faith.

* N.B. §209-a.1(a) of the Civil Service Law, not §209-a.2(a), addresses ?Improper employer practices.?
