Description: Charging Party alleged that her Association and/or CTA violated the duty of fair representation by refusing to represent her in the grievance process and by refusing to provide her with an access to an attorney.
Disposition: The Office of the General Counsel dismissed the charge on the grounds that Charging Party’s allegations on the bases of untimeliness and being outside PERB’s jurisdiction. The Board affirmed the dismissal and adopted the Warning and Dismissal Letters.
