School District No. 351 Oneida County v. Oneida Education Association
Idaho Supreme Court
567 P. 2d 830, 98 Idaho 486 (1977)
- Written by Mike Begovic, JD
Facts
Idaho state law condoned labor negotiations between public school teachers and their employers and laid out a procedure for the resolution of disputes. Idaho law did not explicitly prohibit strikes for public school teachers. During negotiations for a new collective-bargaining agreement, the Oneida Educational Association (the union) (defendant) threatened to strike. Oneida County (the county) (plaintiff) filed a petition for injunctive relief to prevent the threatened strike. The trial judge, in an ex parte proceeding, did not review evidence, but the union made an offer of proof that the county had acted in bad faith during negotiations. The trial judge ruled that a strike would be illegal as a matter of law and enjoined the strike. The union appealed. At the time the appeal was being heard, a new school year had begun, and the parties were operating under a newly executed agreement.
