DECISION 10509 (PECB)

The union filed an unfair labor practice complaint against the employer alleging interference in violation of RCW 41.56.140(1) and refusal to bargain in violation of RCW 41.56.140(4), by its unilateral change in implementing reserved parking fee increases, without providing an opportunity for bargaining. The employer’s answer requested deferral to arbitration. The arbitrator denied the grievance, finding that the collective bargaining agreement protected the employer’s action. Under the agency’s deferral policy, the case was dismissed.
