Your state's personnel board: The buck (often) stops here
If your organization represents police officers, teachers, or others in the public sector, then state personnel board decisions are indispensable, particularly in areas where the board has special expertise and familiarity. See, e.g., California Dep't of Corr. v. State Personnel Bd., 121 Cal. App. 4th 1601, 1612, 18 Cal. Rptr. 3d 390, 397 (Cal. Ct. App. 2004). The personnel board is the end of the line for many public sector employment disputes.
Many of these decisions have recently become available on Westlaw. Eighteen employee relations board databases were released on Westlaw in February. In addition to the Multistate Labor Relations Administrative Decisions database (MLB-ADMIN), 17 databases specific to the following jurisdictions were released: Alaska, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Oregon. The identifier for each is XXLB-ADMIN, where XX is the jurisdiction's two-letter postal abbreviation.
These databases are in addition to the state-specific databases already on Westlaw, including California State Personnel Board Decisions (CASPB), Delaware Public Employment Relations Board Decisions (DE-EMPDEC), and Ohio State Employment Relations Board Decisions (OHLB-ADMIN).
