The Union alleged that DPR violated NYCCBL §§ 12-306(a)(1), (2), (3), and (4) by interfering with the selection of its representatives, directing its staff to file complaints against a Union representative, modifying the location and scheduling of informal conferences and investigatory interviews, and denying certain representatives access to DPR facilities. The City argued that some of the actions did not occur as alleged and that it did not violate the NYCCBL. The Board found that DPR violated NYCCBL § 12-306(a)(1) by interfering with the Union’s selection of representatives, violated NYCCBL § 12-306(a)(1) and (4) by modifying the procedure for scheduling investigatory interviews, and dismissed all other claims. Accordingly, the petition is granted in part and denied in part.
