The Alaska Labor Relations Agency issued a decision and order on Oct. 8, 2014 favoring ASEA in a complaint by the State of Alaska over the union's Catastrophic Leave program. The digest of the determination reads;

"The unfair labor practice charge by the State of Alaska is denied and dismissed. The State's petition to enforce the collective bargaining agreement is denied and dismissed. The State failed to prove that the attempt by the Alaska State Employees Association to use business leave for catastrophic leave was an unfair labor practice violation or a collective bargaining agreement violation."
