After the County refused voluntary recognition, an election was held, which the SLPOA won. The County subsequently refused to bargain, arguing the election was void because it was not conducted by the Missouri State Board of Mediation, especially after House Bill 1413 (HB 1413) was declared unconstitutional. The appellate court affirmed the summary judgment in favor of the SLPOA, holding that the pre-HB 1413 public sector labor law does not require such elections to be conducted by the Board, and thus the County's refusal to bargain violated the employees' constitutional rights.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=194099","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/st-louis-police-officers-association-respondent-v-st-louis-county-appella-110948","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
