Rodriguez, 17 OCB2d 16 (BCB 2024)
Petitioner claimed that the Union breached its duty of fair representation in violation of NYCCBL § 12-306(b)(3) by failing to adequately investigate her discrimination claim and failing to represent her in her wrongful termination claim. The Union argued that it did not breach its duty of fair representation because it promptly responded to Petitioner’s inquiries and represented her. The City also argued that the Union did not breach its duty of fair representation. The Board found that the allegations did not state a claim that the Union breached its duty of fair representation. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed.
