The City of Lebanon was having a budget crisis and its agreement with a union was about to expire. City councilors would vote to approve any agreement, but none were on the city's team that negotiated an agreement. City councilor Margaret Campbell wrote a letter to the newspaper telling union members to find out how to decertify the union so they could keep their union dues. The letter recited that she wrote as an individual and that it did not reflect the opinion of the city council or the city. The union filed an unfair labor practice complaint against the city alleging that Campbell was the apparent agent of the city when she wrote the letter. Was Campbell exercising apparent authority in writing the letter?
