Borough of New Cumberland v. Police Employees

Opinion by

Judge Williams, Jr.,

This appeal arises from an action in equity by the Borough of New Cumberland, seeking mainly to compel the collective bargaining representative of certain police personnel to continue bargaining negotiations and to enjoin the representative from resorting to binding arbitration under Section 4(a) of Act 111.1 The lower court, the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, dismissed the complaint in equity for lack of jurisdiction, and ordered the parties to proceed to arbitration. It is from that order that the Borough has appealed to this Court.
