Title:  

Decisions and Opinions of the Illinois State Labor Relations Board

 
 Volume/Number:  2016 August 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Wheaton Firefighters Union, Local 3706 (the Union), and the City of Wheaton (the City) are parties to a collective bargaining agreement. In 2012, after failed negotiations, the Union invoked interest arbitration pursuant to section 14 of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (the Act)(5 ILCS 315/14 (West 2012)). During the interest arbitration proceedings, the City sought to add a provision to the parties' agreement that would allow it to unilaterally change the health insurance benefits that is was providing to the Union's members during the period of the agreement. The Union responded by filing an unfair-labor charge against the City, arguing that the City was acting in bad faith by submitting an inappropriate matter to interest arbitration. The Illinois Labor Relations Board found that the City had not acted in bad faith, because the City's mere submission of its health insurance proposal to interest arbitration did not demonstrate that the City violated the Act. the Union appeals from the order. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
