LA-CE-595-S
Decision Date: February 24, 2004
Decision Type: PERB Decision
Description: Vickers moved to excuse a late-filed second-amended charge and requested reconsideration of the Board’s dismissal and deferral of his charge to arbitration in 1540.
Disposition: The second amended charge was several months late. Vickers did not provide any facts to show good cause to excuse the late filing. The Board granted his request for reconsideration because his union was unable to arbitrate his grievance under the CBA. The charge was remanded to the GC’s office for further investigation.
