In a 115 page decision, Arbitrator Luella Nelson found,
among other holdings, that the practice of the City and
County of San Francisco of placing employees on unpaid
administrative leave violated the Skelly provisions found in
the contract between the City and International Federation of
Professional and Technical Engineers, Local 21. This decision
was the culmination of a multi-year fight over a practice
that the City has followed with respect to employees in many
different City bargaining units represented by multiple
unions. The City first refused to arbitrate the issue
altogether and was ultimately ordered to arbitrate by order
of the San Francisco Superior Court.
