Public Safety Employees Association v. City of Fairbanks

Summary

The court reversed the superior court's decision affirming an agency finding that the City committed an unfair labor practice during collective bargaining. It held that the city council was not itself a public employer under the Act, but that the agency's order was directed against the City. The agency's finding of bad faith was unsupported by substantial evidence, and failure to ratify a tentative agreement, standing alone, did not establish an unfair labor practice.
