MOTION WHICH COULD NOT HAVE BEEN UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR OUR OF ORDER:
The issue of authorizing a four-year binding arbitration award is to be sent to the members for their vote as required by Article IV of the NYSCOPBA Constitution. Before the leadership makes such greement it has no authority to make under the constitution for the members.(without the direct consent of the members
The Statute controlling binding arbitration in relevent part shows clearly the the parties, one being NYSCOPBA, have to agree to authorize the panel to make a four year award. This is a collective agreement made for all of us and we kept the right to ratify it! AND IT WAS THE DUTY OF THE EXEUTIVE BOARD TO SEE THAT THE ISSUE WAS SENT T THE MEMBERSHIP!
Section 209 of Article 14 the Arbitration statute in relevant part: Note: we are (f) where the parties to a public arbitration are those anticipated by the provisions of [paragraph] paragraphs (e) and (f) of this subdivision [as established by chapter four hundred thirty-two of the laws of nineteen hundred ninety-five,] the state and such parties may agree to confer authority to the public arbitration panel to issue a final and binding determination for a period up to and including four years.
