In Lancaster County v. Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, 761 A.2d 1250 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2000) the Court affirmed a decision that the county committed an unfair labor practice by refusing to negotiate or arbitrate over various proposed provisions that the common pleas court identified as infringing on its supervisory powers. The Court explained in Lancaster County that instead of taking issues "off the table" by refusing to negotiate them, a court should await the arbitration award and then appeal to determine if the award impermissibly impinges upon the court's authority. On review, the Court need not give deference to the arbitration panel's decision regarding the courts' right to hire, fire and direct personnel because it involves interpretation of The County Code and the separation of powers issue.
