Employment Law, Municipal Law

THE THIRD DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS BOARD’S (PERB’S) RULING THAT THE VILLAGE IMPROPERLY COERCED A VILLAGE EMPLOYEE TO RESIGN FROM THE UNION AND ACCEPT A LOWER SALARY (THIRD DEPT). ​

The Third Department, confirming the rulings of the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Fisher, determined the village improperly coerced a village employee to resign from the union and accept a lower salary. The opinion is too detailed and complex to fairly summarize here. The opinion is will-worth reading to gain an understanding of the issues which arise in an employment dispute between a union and a municipality, the application of the Taylor Law, and the jurisdiction and role of the PERB.  Matter of Village of Monticello v AFSCME Local 750-9, Council 66, AFL-CIO, 2026 NY Slip Op 04805, Third Dept 7-30-26
