Where expired collective bargaining agreement provided that employer could establish alternative work schedules, Board found that employer did not unilaterally change working conditions when it implemented an alternate work schedule allowing employees to work a 4/10/40 schedule; pp. 2-3, warning letter. Where, despite actual notice of the change, exclusive representative never requested bargaining over effects of employer's decision to implement alternate work schedule pursuant to the terms of expired collective bargaining agreement, employer's failure to negotiate said effects did not violate Act; p. 2, dismissal letter.
