The Union alleged that the NYPD violated NYCCBL § 12-306(a)(1) by encouraging Union members to cease paying union dues and by distributing materials that discouraged union membership. The City argues that the Union’s claims do not establish conduct that was inherently destructive of important employee rights nor has there been any evidence that there have been any significant repercussions for its members. The Board found that the supervisor’s actions constituted violations of NYCCBL § 12-306(a)(1). Accordingly, the petition was granted.
