New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of City of New York v. Uniformed Fire Officers Association, Local 854, Iaff, Afl-Cio
October 17, 200095 N.Y.2d 273
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s order staying arbitration of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association’s grievance, holding that New York public policy bars arbitration of disputes concerning the Department of Investigation’s criminal investigations, because such policy precludes delegating the City’s investigatory authority to an arbitrator.
