GRIEVANCE FILED AGAINST SCHOOL DISTRICT REGARDING THE DISTRICT’S STARTING A PLENARY ACTION AGAINST A TEACHER UNDER A FAITHLESS SERVANT THEORY WAS ARBITRABLE UNDER THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT.

The Second Department determined a grievance involving a teacher was arbitrable under the collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The grievance was filed by the teachers’ association against the school district regarding the district’s starting a plenary action against a teacher under a faithless servant theory:

Here, the respondent, Locust Valley Teachers’ Association (hereinafter the LVTA), filed a grievance against the petitioner, Locust Valley Central School District (hereinafter the School District), regarding the commencement by the School District of a plenary action against a teacher formerly employed by the School District. The former teacher was a member of the LVTA. The applicable collective bargaining agreement (hereinafter CBA) between the parties provided that either party had the right to submit a grievance to arbitration, where that grievance was not resolved by the School District. The CBA defined a “grievance” as “a claimed violation, misinterpretation or inequitable application [of a] provision of th[e] Agreement.” In the plenary action, the School District sought, under a “faithless servant” theory, the forfeiture of all compensation earned by the subject teacher pursuant to the CBA during a period of time in which the teacher allegedly engaged in certain criminal conduct. That conduct ultimately resulted in the teacher’s plea of guilty to several criminal charges.

The School District has not identified any statutory, constitutional, or public policy prohibition against arbitrating the grievance. Further, in light of the fact that the grievance concerns the right of the School District to bring a plenary action seeking the equitable forfeiture of compensation paid to the teacher under the CBA, there exists a reasonable relationship between the grievance and the CBA. Therefore, the Supreme Court did not err in finding the grievance to be arbitrable pursuant to the CBA … . Locust Val. Cent. Sch. Dist. v Benstock, 2016 NY Slip Op 07299, 2nd Dept 11-9-16
