800.01000 – In General; Prima Facie Case
Union did not breach duty of fair representation by failing to file a grievance over an employee performing work outside her classification, where Union’s decision was not arbitrary, discriminatory, or made in bad faith. Union negotiated the creation of a new classification for the employee with a higher salary and retroactive pay. Union may have reasonably believed that a grievance would have been unsuccessful and that negotiating would achieve a more favorable result.
