LEEBA, 11 OCB2d 1 (BCB 2018)
The City of New York Office of Labor Relations claimed that LEEBA repudiated a memorandum of agreement, in violation of NYCCBL § 12-306(b)(2) and (c)(5), when it refused to sign a successor agreement, made additional economic demands, and sought the appointment of a mediation panel regarding those demands. LEEBA argued that it was unable to sign the successor agreement until certain economic demands had been bargained. It also contended that its demands should have been included in the memorandum of agreement. The Board found that LEEBA had bargained in bad faith. Accordingly, the improper practice petition was granted.
