Case: Individual Employment Rights/Procedural Due Process (Pa. Commw. Ct.)

The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania reversed a trial court’s order that granted a statutory appeal by the Fraternal Order of Police, Fort Pitt Lodge No. 1 and a probationary police officer challenging his termination by the City of Pittsburgh, finding that under the Collective Bargaining Agreement and civil service rules, the probationary officer lacked a property right in his continued employment and thus could not appeal his termination to the civil service commission despite having completed certification requirements.
