On October, 17, 2007, UAFT filed an unfair labor practice charge (ULP) with the Alaska Labor Relations Agency (ALRA) alleging that the University violated the CBA by its placement of new faculty with upper-division assignments into the UNAC bargaining unit. In response, the University filed a unit clarification petition, and effected service on all bargaining unit members per ALRA instructions. UAFT objected to the petition. On August 25, 2009, the ALRA accepted the Universitys Petition for Unit Clarification and placed the unfair labor practice complaints in abeyance pending the determination of that petition. A prehearing conference will be held with ALRA, UA, UAFT and UNAC representatives on 11/18/09.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS HIGHLIGHTS
ֱTanana Valley Campus: A non-exempt employee at Tanana Valley Campus was non-retained pursuant to Regents Policy and University Regulation. The employee grieved the issue and requested a hearing. After motion practice, the hearing officer issued a dispositive order on 9/21/08 canceling the hearing and recommending that the ֱChancellor uphold the non-retention decision. The employee has filed suit in Superior Court challenging the Universitys non-retention rights. The parties have now submitted briefs in this matter.
UA Statewide: An exempt employee on a term appointment was non-renewed pursuant to Regents Policy and University Regulations. The employee filed a grievance at Step 3, questioning the basis for the decision not to renew the term appointment. The grievance was denied at Step 3. The employee advanced the grievance to Step 4. The University sent the grievant a letter stating that the matter was not grievable pursuant to University Regulation 04.08.060.G; the request for a hearing was denied.
UAA Enrollment Services: A non-exempt employee was terminated for cause pursuant to Regents Policy and University Regulation. The employee filed a grievance and a hearing is pending.
UAA Police Department: An employee was terminated for cause and simultaneously non-retained. The employee filed a grievance, and a hearing was held in March. The hearing officer recommended upholding the termination and the chancellor agreed. The employee filed an administrative appeal on 7/21/09; briefing has not yet begun.
UAA Community and Technical College: A term faculty member's contract was not renewed in May 2008. The FM thereafter filed a number of complaints/actions: a discrimination complaint based on disability regarding the alleged withdrawal of a summer assignment. The investigation and subsequent review at the chancellor level found no discrimination had occurred. The complainant filed an administrative appeal on May 26, and the university sought dismissal on the basis of lack of jurisdiction to appeal an investigation. Briefing is completed. The complainant also contacted UAA HR in August 2008 regarding a 2007 hire, asserting that she was not advanced past the interview stage of a recruitment to ensure the hire of a spouse of a department member. The HR review indicated that the process was appropriate, including that the spouse was not involved in the search and that the chair of the committee was not from the department. The complainant has filed a civil suit alleging numerous causes of action including disability discrimination, violation of nepotism laws, and whistleblower retaliation.
