Syllabus

On objections of relator and respondent to magistrate's decision recommending the issuance of a limited writ of mandamus ordering respondent State Employment Relations Board (\SERB\) to vacate its order dismissing relator's charge that respondent Union had engaged in a unfair labor practice and directing SERB to issue a new order explaining its reasoning. Relator's objection overruled, respondents' objections sustained and petition for writ of mandamus dismissed. The record evidence demonstrates respondent SERB did not abuse its discretion in concluding that the Union had a legitimate, rational basis for its decision not to proceed to arbitration on relator's grievance against the City of Youngstown.
