Linden Board of Education, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Linden Education Association on Behalf of John Mizichko…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the arbitrator correctly found no just cause to terminate the employee and was authorized to impose a ten‑day suspension; the arbitration award is therefore affirmed. The Court also distinguished County College of Morris as inapplicable because the collective bargaining agreement did not define just cause for termination.
