As a Commissioner at the WERC I participated in
the decision of labor law complaints, declaratory judgments, unit
clarifications and related matters, writing occasional dissents and
concurrences. I also heard and decided
as a hearing officer, and on review as a Commissioner, numerous personnel
appeals (state civil service). In
addition to the duties as a Commissioner, I heard and wrote over 75 labor
grievance arbitration awards on a wide range of issues and across several
industries and the public sector. At
the request of parties I mediated the resolution of several grievance
arbitration cases before hearing. I also
mediated to settlement or impasse numerous interest arbitration cases. I was frequently jointly requested by parties
to serve as a grievance arbitrator or chosen from a panel of grievance
arbitrators. All of my arbitration
awards are available on line on the WERC website or through the Wisconsin Bar
Association website. The range of issues in the grievance awards issued
include: arbitrability, bargaining unit work, discharge, discipline, leave,
vacation, job performance, job posting, layoffs, management rights, past
practice, seniority, subcontracting, union security, holiday pay, job
classification, overtime pay, vacation pay, work schedules, work orders, violence.
