School board breached duty to bargain pay equity in good faith by raising inauthentic process concerns.
The applicant union filed complaints alleging the respondent school board failed to negotiate an amended pay equity plan in good faith and failed to maintain pay equity after the male comparator job classes were eliminated.
The Tribunal found that the parties' conduct demonstrated a shared view that the original pay equity plans were no longer appropriate due to changed circumstances.
The Tribunal concluded the school board violated its duty to bargain in good faith by raising inauthentic process concerns late in the joint job evaluation process to avoid the financial costs of pay equity adjustments.
The parties were ordered to resume negotiations based on the joint committee's ratings.
