H.O. No. 83-15
Synopsis:
A Hearing Officer of the Public Employment Relations Commission recommends that subject matter department heads be removed from a nonsupervisory teachers negotiations unit. While the parties stipulated that department heads had been included in the teachers negotiations unit prior to 1968, that fact was not dispositive because of changed duties and conflict of interest. The Hearing Officer concluded that under the T & E Laws the department head's supervisory duties had increased as evidenced by a requirement that they possess a supervisory certificate in order to evaluate teachers in their department. The Hearing Officer also found actual conflict of interest evidenced by grievances processed against department heads and that that conflict negated the continuation of the negotiations relationship.
A Hearing Officer's Report and Recommendations is not a final administrative determination of the Public Employment Relations Commission. The case is transferred to the Commission which reviews the Report and Recommendations, any exception thereto filed by the parties, and the record, and issues a decision which may adopt, reject or modify the Hearing Officer's findings of fact and/or conclusions of law. The Director's decision is binding upon the parties unless a request for review is filed before the Commission.
