345.070 Unfair labor practices and remedies therefor -- Hearing -- Final order
--Appeal to Circuit Court.
Violations of the provisions of KRS 345.050 shall be deemed to be unfair labor
practices remedial by the board in the following manner.
(1) Whenever it is charged by a public employer or a labor organization that any
person has engaged in or is engaging in any unfair labor practices, the board,
or any hearing officer designated by the board, shall conduct an administrative
hearing in accordance with KRS Chapter 13B.
(2) If upon the preponderance of the evidence presented the board is of the
opinion that any person named in the charge has engaged in or is engaging in
an unfair labor practice, then it shall issue a final order requiring him to cease
and desist from the unfair labor practice, and to take any affirmative action
including reinstatement of firefighters with or without back pay, as will
effectuate the policies of this chapter. The final order may further require the
person to make reports from time to time showing the extent to which he has
complied with the order. If upon the preponderance of the evidence presented
the board is not of the opinion that the person named in the charge has
engaged in or is engaging in the unfair labor practice, then the board shall
issue a final order dismissing the complaint. No final order shall issue based
upon any unfair labor practice occurring more than six (6) months prior to the
filing of the charge with the board, unless the person aggrieved thereby was
prevented from filing the charge by reason of service in the Armed Forces, in
which event, the six (6) month period shall be computed from the day of his
discharge. No final order of the board shall require the reinstatement of any
individual as a firefighter who has been suspended or discharged, or the
payment to him of any back pay, if the individual was suspended or discharged
for cause.
(3) Until a final order has been appealed, the board at any time, upon reasonable
notice and in the manner that it deems proper, may modify or set aside, in
whole or in part, any final order made or issued by it.
(4) The board or the charging party may petition for the enforcement of the final
order and for appropriate temporary relief or restraining order in the Circuit
Court for the county in which the violation occurred.
(5) Any person aggrieved by a final order of the board may obtain a review of the
final order by filing a petition in the Circuit Court assigned jurisdiction under
subsection (4) of this section in accordance with KRS Chapter 13B.
