Panikowski and PACE Northwest Division: Petitioner Pace Suburban Bus Service, a division of the Regional Transportation Authority, d/b/a Pace Northwest Division (Pace), appeals from a decision and order of the Illinois Labor Relations Board, State Panel (Board), finding that Pace violated section 10(a)(1) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (Act)(5 ILCS 315/10(a)(1)(West 2008)) by discharging respondent, Urszula Panikowski, in retaliation for filing a grievance for reinstatement in 1999. On appeal, Pace contends that this court should reverse the Board because: (1) Panikowski failed to prove that her discharge was motivated by antiunion animus; (@) the Board's order was based solely on a finding that Pace offered shifting explanations for discharging Panikowski, which alone is not sufficient to establish that it had an improper motive for discharging Panikowski; (3) the Board erred in refusing to consider Pace's argument that it had a legitimate business reason for discharging Panikowski; and (4) the Board improperly relied on evidence of conduct that occurred outside of the Act's six-month statute of limitations. | | | | Date Created: | 05 13 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-CA-05-217; No. 1-09-2582 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000050281 Original UID: 171223 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
