PERB Rules for Mineola Employees in Healthcare Case
Updated On: Jul 23, 2014
In a case brought by UPSEU on behalf of its Village of Mineola members, PERB ruled that the Village violated the law when it unilaterally changed terms and conditions of employment related to retiree health coverage.
UPSEU sucessfully argued that the Village had a long standing practice and PERB issued a decision that employees be made whole for any cost sharing that was unlawfully implemented, plus interest. The Village as well, is required to withdraw its decision and post a notice advising its employees that it violated the law.
UPSEU's Labor Relations Representative James Gangale commended the decision stating, "We knew we were on the right side of the law from day one. Unfortunately, the Village chose to expend resources on its legal team that it didn't to. Our members are ecstatic with the decision."
