Description
This action arose from unsuccessful collective bargaining negotiations between the Smith County Education Association and the Smith County Board of Education. After months of negotiations, the SCEA sued the Board, its individual members, and Joe K. Anderson, the Superintendent of Smith County Schools, alleging the Defendants had committed acts made unlawful by the Education Professional Negotiations Act, T.C.A. § 49-5-609, and had violated the Tennessee Open Meetings Act, T.C.A. § 8-44-102(a). Following a jury trial, the Chancellor took the case from the jury and dismissed the complaint, deciding that both sides were negotiating in good faith, that the Defendants had not engaged in any unlawful acts, and that the Defendants had not violated the Open Meetings Act. The Court of Appeals held the Chancellor acted properly in taking the case from the jury; however, the Court found the Board had not negotiated in good faith and had violated the Open Meetings Act.
