Alaska Supreme Court

Public Safety Employees Association, Afscme Local 803, Afl-Cio, Appellants and Cross-Appellees v. City Of…

June 15, 2018420 P.3d 1243

Summary

The court reversed the superior court's decision affirming an agency finding that the City committed an unfair labor practice by reconsidering and rejecting a tentative labor agreement. It held that the city council was not itself a public employer, that the agency's bad-faith finding lacked substantial evidentiary support, and that failure to ratify the agreement alone did not violate the duty to bargain in good faith.
