Union’s demand that GML §207-c the individual continue to receive benefits pending a hearing and determination is mandatorily negotiable
Baldwinsville Police Benevolent Association and Village of Baldwinsville, 44 PERB ¶3031, U-29453, U-29481
PERB held that that a General Municipal Law (GML) §207-c proposal that would require a continued receipt of benefits pending a hearing and determination is mandatorily negotiable because the proposal seeks a contractual codification of a unit member’s constitutionally protected property right of continued GML §207-c benefits, which can not be terminated without due process.
