Taylor, 11 OCB2d 4 (BCB 2018)
Petitioner claimed that DHS violated NYCCBL § 12-306(a)(1), (2), and (3) when it interfered with and deprived her of union representation in connection with a disciplinary action that resulted in her resignation. The City argued that DHS did not violate Petitioner’s right to union representation because she did not request representation during an investigatory interview. The Board found that the City did not violate the NYCCBL because at the time Petitioner allegedly requested union representation, any investigation had ceased and, therefore, the City was no longer required to provide it. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed.
