The Board found that the amended charge alleged facts showing the school district had animosity toward Charging Party’s EERA-protected activities. The day before the meeting at which the school district served Charging Party with the Notice of Intent to Discipline, Charging Party’s supervisor told Charging Party the meeting was about her unauthorized union release time. These statements show that Charging Party’s supervisor disapproved of Charging Party’s union activities, thus supporting an inference that her animus toward those activities played a role in Charging Party’s termination.
