The Chicago Board of Education petitioned for administrative review of an order of the Illinois Labor Relations Board determining that the Board of Education had committed an unfair labor practice by refusing to arbitrate grievances filed by the Chicago Teachers Union on behalf of two teachers. The appellate court agreed with the Board of Education that the union’s grievances were barred by res judicata and reversed the order of the Labor Board. (ROCHFORD and LYLE, concurring)
