BROOKFIELD — A proposed order from a judge for the State Employee Relations Board states the Brookfield Board of Education should return lost wages to its teachers union in addition to addressing a number of other claims of contract violations. ??While not a final ruling, the proposal was met with optimism by union President Sally Schneider, who said it has been a very long wait. ??‘‘It keeps going and going and going,’’ Schneider said. ??The Brookfield Federation of Teachers filed an unfair labor practice charge against the school board in September 2006. The union has worked without a contract since June 2007 and is being paid according to the 2004-05 salary schedule because the board claimed the teachers’ previous three-year contract with a one-year extension was illegal.??In January 2007, SERB found probable cause in the complaints against the school board, and two days of testimony were heard in September 2007, according to court documents. Administrative Law Judge Kay A. Kingsley issued the proposed order on Dec. 21, which was posted Monday on the local Web site www.abetterbrookfield.com.??It states that the board should cease and desist from unilaterally reducing the salaries of bargaining unit employees and return the salaries of all union members to the 2005-06 level, retroactive to July 1, 2006.??It addresses other complaints by the union as well. For one, teachers objected to the school board abolishing the position of a union technology coordinator and replacing it with a nonunion position and also replacing union nursing positions with nonunion clinical assistant positions. ??Kingsley proposal states that the board re-establish those eliminated union positions, return to status quo and bargain in good faith with the union on all mandatory subjects. ??School board President Joseph Pasquerilla said that he wasn’t shocked by the proposed order, but is waiting to see how the school board will be directed by legal counsel David Millstone, who could not be reached for comment. ??But, Pasquerilla said, there are several more steps to take before the order is a final one. ??‘‘It’s not over by a long means,’’ he said. ??Schneider said that the union will wait to see if the board opposes the proposed order. In that case, the union will file its own response. Eventually, the entire SERB board would issue a final decision.??‘‘We have waited patiently for SERB to make their ruling instead of going on a work stoppage,’’ she said. ??Schneider said that the loss in wages has hit some union members harder than others, but could not determine the total number that would be owed by the board if the order is upheld.
