Public-sector union officials tasked with representing Erie Water Works employees concealed vital information from them during contract negotiations. On January 16, 2021, the court ruled in favor of employees, saying that AFSCME officials breached their duty of fair representation. The case currently awaits a decision on the relief to be awarded to our clients.
“No matter where you are now, don’t give up. My story would have ended if it hadn’t been for the work of The Fairness Center. You are not alone.”
