The union alleged that the employer breached its duty to bargain in good faith by failing to disclose its intention to suspend two members of the union's negotiating team without pay.
The employer had previously sent letters indicating it would investigate their conduct after the strike ended.
During negotiations, the union tabled and then withdrew a proposal to protect the negotiating team from discipline.
The Board found that the employer's initial letters provided sufficient disclosure for the union to formulate a bargaining response.
By withdrawing its proposal without seeking clarification, the union elected to take its chances.
The complaint regarding the duty to bargain in good faith was dismissed.
