The Hawaii Labor Relations Board will receive final reports from attorneys representing the teachers union and state today as the 11-month-old case over teacher contracts draws to a close. 

All parties, including intervenor UHPA, rested May 17. The board gave them a month to prepare their findings of fact and conclusions of law, which will be taken into consideration as part of the judgment.

It’s unclear when the two-person board will make its ruling on the case. In the past, decisions have taken a couple months or sometimes more than a year.

The Hawaii State Teachers Union filed the case in July after Gov. Abercrombie unilaterally imposed a contract on the teachers. Efforts to negotiate a new contract have sputtered.

The union in May voted again on a contract offer the teachers had shot down in January. The members passed it this time around, but the governor says it no longer has legal standing.
