SBPEA Teamsters Local 1932 v. County of SB
Plaintiff and respondent James Cook is a member of plaintiff and respondent SBPEA Teamsters Local 1932 (Local 1932) and until his termination was an employee of defendant and respondent County of San Bernardino (County). Defendant San Bernardino County Civil Service Commission (Commission) dismissed Cook’s appeal of his termination because his union representative failed to attend a mandatory prehearing conference.
Cook filed a petition for writ of mandate pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1085, naming the County, its Board of Supervisors, and the Commission as parties, seeking to have his appeal reinstated. The trial court granted the petition, finding the dismissal to be “arbitrary and capricious,” and ordered the Commission to reinstate Cook’s appeal and proceed with the hearing.
