Ruiz, 15 OCB2d 41 (BCB 2022)

Petitioner claimed that the Union breached its duty of fair representation in violation of NYCCBL § 12-306(b)(3) when it failed to help her file grievances asserting that her employer had not provided her with sufficient personal protective equipment. The Union and the City 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.
