D.R. No. 82-37
Synopsis:
The Director of Representation, adopting the recommendations of a Hearing Officer, determines that department supervisors, who were formerly called department chairpersons, should be removed from a unit of employees which includes nonsupervisory teaching personnel and may participate in an election to designate or reject a negotiations representative in a separate unit of supervisors. The department supervisors are in fact supervisors and, since 1979, their supervisory duties have significantly increased. The Director agrees with the Hearing Officer that the record did not establish the existence of a collective negotiations relationship between the RTA and the Board prior to 1968, and therefore the RTA could not invoke a claim of "established practice" to permit the inclusion of supervisors in its unit. Even if such circumstances were demonstrated, the substantial increase in supervisory responsibilities assigned to supervisors would require their removal from the RTA unit.
