 Description:  Tri-State Professional Firefighters Union, Local 3165, IAFF -vs- Tri-State Fire Protection District: Following its affirmance of an administrative law judge's (ALJ) decision finding that petitioner-appellant Tri-State Professional Firefighters Union, Local 3165, IAFF (Union) failed to bargain in good faith with respondent-appellee Tri-State Fire Protection District (District) in negotiations for a successor collective bargaining agreement, respondent-appellee Illinois Labor Relations Board, State Panel; John Hartnett, Paul Besson, James Brennwald, Michael Coli, and Albert Washington, the members of said Board and Panel in their official capacity only; and Melissa Mlynski, Executive Directory of said Board in her official capacity only (Board) issued an affirmative bargaining order returning the parties to status quo ante and effectively nullifying a prior interest arbitration award. In response, the Union filed a petition for administrative review of the Board's decision in our court. On appeal, it contends that the District's complaint against it was procedurally defective and that the Board improperly relied on conduct outside the appropriate statute of limitations in rendering its decision, that the Board erred by failing to examine the totality of the circumstances, tha the Board erred in not dismissing the District's complaint as moot, and that the Board's order is void because it did not have the authority to vacate the prior arbitration award. The Union asks that we enter an order reversing and vacating the Board's order, particularly, its bad faith finding and its remedial affirmative bargaining order.
