Jeffrey P. Chicoine, a Miller Nash partner, will be speaking at the Oregon Public Employer Labor Relations Association's February meeting.
Program:
Although ERB is now dominated by former union attorneys, there are still decisions favoring employers with Chairman Gamson, a frequent dissenter. This program will summarize, analyze and draw lessons from recent ERB cases in favor of and against employers. This program will focus on recent ERB decisions reviewing arbitration awards, PECBA discrimination and retaliation claims, requests for information and bargaining disputes. We will also review and distill lessons from recent interest arbitration awards and key court decisions affecting bargaining rights and obligations.
