SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF LOWELL v. LABOR RELATIONS COMMISSION 495 MFT AFT AFL CIO (1999)

Appeals Court of Massachusetts.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF LOWELL v. LABOR RELATIONS COMMISSION; United Teachers of Lowell, Local 495, MFT, AFT, AFL-CIO, intervener (and a companion case1).

No. 97-P-2154.

Decided: March 26, 1999

Daniel R. Wojcik, Lowell, for the plaintiff. John B. Cochran, Boston, for the defendant. Joseph R. Lettiere, Boston, for the intervener.

We affirm the decisions of the Labor Relations Commission on the authority of School Comm. of Lowell v. Local 159, Serv. Employees Intl. Union, 42 Mass.App.Ct. 690, 693, 679 N.E.2d 583 (1997). As more fully explicated in that decision, the Education Reform Act of 1993, St.1993, c. 71, did not abrogate collective bargaining agreements with school committees insofar as the agreements concerned terms and conditions of employment or procedures for making appointments, as opposed to decisions about hiring or firing designated categories of school employees (in these cases, club coaches, club advisors and athletic coaches).

Decision of Labor Relations Commission affirmed.

The case was submitted on briefs.
