Appeal to challenge complaint dismissal involving consulting with union representative denied
Seabrook v City of New York
Petitioner, Norman Seabrook, brought about this appeal to challenge the Supreme Court decision to dismiss his complaint. Employees are not allowed to consult with a union representation after a question is posed and before an answer must be given. The purpose of this policy is to prevent coaching and to encourage truthful responses during an interrogation. The policy does not deprive the employee of his right to representation by his union.
Accordingly, the Court affirmed the order dismissing the complaint, without costs.
