Description
SHIRLEY S. ABRAHAMSON, J. This is a review of a published decision of the court of appeals, County of La Crosse v. Wisconsin
Employment Relations Commn, 174 Wis. 2d 444, 497 N.W.2d 455 (1993), affirming an order of the circuit court for La Crosse
county, Michael J. Mulroy, Circuit Judge. We reverse the decision of the court of appeals and remand the cause for further
proceedings. The circuit court determined that the employe's exclusive remedy for the county's termination of her employment following
a work-related injury was provided by the Worker's Compensation Act. Thus the circuit court concluded that La Crosse county,
a municipal employer, did not commit a prohibited practice when it refused to arbitrate the employe's grievance for termination
under the collective bargaining agreement. The circuit court reversed a decision of the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission
(WERC). WERC had held that La Crosse county had committed a prohibited labor practice within the meaning of sec. 111.70(3)(a)5,
Stats. 1991-92, by refusing to arbitrate questions about the meaning or application of the terms of a collective bargaining
agreement, specifically with respect to a grievance over the termination or layoff of an employe with a work-related injury.
