1100.00000 – CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE
1100.08000 – Pleading Requirements

Charging party has not provided facts demonstrating when or how the union failed to represent him, failed to investigate his employment status, or prevented charging party from representing himself. Thus, charging party has not met his burden of providing a “clear and concise statement of facts” to demonstrate a violation of the MMBA. Charging party’s conclusory remarks that the union failed to represent him or investigate his employment issues are not sufficient to demonstrate a violation.
