D.R. No. 2010-8
Synopsis:
The Director of Representation orders that Teamsters, Local 97 of New Jersey, I.B.T. (Local 97) be certified as the exclusive representative for all regularly employed non-supervisory blue collar employees in the department of public works and the park and recreation department of the Township of Hanover. The Township objected to the card check petition and refused to sign a stipulation of appropriate unit, asserting the unit should only include DPW employees because it was historically the represented unit. The Commission favors broad-based negotiations units rather than units structured upon departmental lines. The petitioned-for unit was consistent with the structure favored by the Commission. The petitioner complied with the card check rules and the Director certified Local 97 as the majority representative for the unit in question.
