The charge alleged that the Respondent violated Sections 10(a)(4) and (1) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (Act), 5 ILCS 315 (2012), when it unilaterally changed the status quo ofemployees' terms and conditions of employment during the pendency of interest arbitration proceedings and dealt directly with the Union's members concerning a mandatory subject of bargaining. Both allegations stem from the Respondent's decision to implement a Separation from Employment Reimbursement Agreement (Separation/Reimbursement Agreement orAgreement) policy, under which new firefighters are required to reimburse the Village for training and equipment costs if they resign after less than two years. | | | | Date Created: | 12-15-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-CA-13-115 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054866 Original UID: 176260 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
