Determining if a party has waive the right to litigate an issue or has failed to exhaust relevant administrative remedies

Plaintiff did not waive her right to seek remedies under Civil Service Law §75-b merely as a result of her filing a prior federal complaint in which she sought, inter alia, relief under both New York's Labor Law §740 and New York's Civil Service Law §75-b nor was plaintiff required to exhaust her administrative remedies under the applicable collective bargaining agreement prior to commencing this action as  "[t]here is no need to exhaust administrative remedies when the cause of action by the plaintiff is not governed by the collective bargaining agreement."
