Oregon Statutes 663.255 – Injunctive relief without notice; when board not to apply for injunctive relief
Notwithstanding ORS § 663.250:
Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 663.255
- Board: means the Employment Relations Board. See Oregon Statutes 663.005
- Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
- Employer: includes any person acting as an agent of an employer, directly or indirectly, but does not include:
(a) The United States or any wholly owned government corporation, or any Federal Reserve Bank. See Oregon Statutes 663.005
- Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
(1) No temporary restraining order shall be issued without notice unless a petition alleges that substantial and irreparable injury to the charging party will be unavoidable. Such a temporary restraining order is effective for no longer than five days and is void at the expiration of that period.
(2) The Employment Relations Board shall not apply for a restraining order under ORS § 663.235 if a charge against the employer under ORS § 663.120 (2) has been filed and, after the preliminary investigation, the board has reasonable cause to believe that the charge is true and that a complaint should issue. [1971 c.729 § 35; 1975 c.147 § 17]
