DECISION 9979 (PECB)

Issue 1: Did the employer interfere with protected rights when it requested Evan Bagley and the union’s shop steward to agree to extend Bagley’s probationary period as Truck Driver II?

Issue 2: Did the employer circumvent the union when it requested that Bagley and the union’s shop steward agree to extend Bagley’s probationary period, and when it negotiated with Evan Bagley to transfer him to his previous position in another bargaining unit within King County?

The Examiner rules that the employer did not commit either of the unfair labor practices charged.
