Excerpts from the Court of Appeals decision at issue:
UAW raises
two issues on appeal, which we consolidate and restate as the following single
issue: Whether the trial court erred in concluding, as a matter of law, that
the Board of County Commissioners (Commissioners)1 and County Council (Council)2 had
no authority to encroach upon the rights of the Assessor and Recorder to
appoint and discharge deputies.
…
Based on the
foregoing, we conclude that the trial court properly issued summary judgment
for the County Group because, as a matter of law, the Commissioners and Council
had no authority to execute a CBA interfering with the independence of the
Officials in appointing and discharging their deputies and employees.
