CASE 23327-U-10-5942
DECISION 11135-D - CCOL
ORDER REMANDING FOR COMPLIANCE HEARING
|
The Rosen Law Firm, by Jon Howard Rosen, Attorney at Law, for the union.
Attorney General Robert W. Ferguson, by Scott Majors, Assistant Attorney General, for the employer.
In August 2014, the employer entered into compliance with the order in Everett Community College, Decision 11135 (CCOL, 2011). As ordered, the employer took actions to restore status quo terms and conditions of employment, made an offer to bargain, and completed the notice posting and reading requirements. The only portion of compliance in dispute is whether the employer properly restored status quo ante with regards to tenure track eligible positions. On February 10, 2015, the Commission reviewed compliance in this case and considered written arguments submitted by the parties on the tenure track issue. The Commission is remanding the case to an examiner for a narrowly focused compliance hearing.
Scope of Compliance Hearing
The hearing will be limited to collecting evidence about the number of tenure track counselor positions in the academic employees bargaining unit.
The union and employer will have the opportunity to introduce relevant exhibits and present witnesses, with the testimony focusing on the following topics:
The number of tenure track positions in counseling services in the bargaining unit from 2009 to the present.
Workload, transfers, and other factors that may impact or explain the number of job positions, including tenure track positions, within the bargaining unit since 2009.
Settlement mediation is available in compliance disputes.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is
ORDERED
The compliance hearing shall be scheduled to take place within 90 days following the date of this order.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 9th day of March, 2015.
