H.O. No. 82-5
Synopsis:
A Hearing Officer of the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission finds that the following Signal Division titles, the Police and Fire Signal System Repairer and Electrician, Radio Repairman, and the Senior Electronics Repairer, are not employees engaged in "firefighting" within the meaning of the Police and Fire Compulsory Interest Arbitration Act. Accordingly, he recommended that said titles cannot be included in a unit with firefighters, and they are not entitled to interest arbitration.
The Hearing Officer further recommended that the instant Petition be dismissed based upon procedural grounds. Relying upon In re Wayne Bd. of Ed., D.R. No. 80-6, 5 NJPER 422 (¶10221 1979), aff'd P.E.R.C. No. 80-94, 6 NJPER (¶11028 1980), the Hearing Officer found that a question concerning representation existed which could not be resolved through a clarification of unit proceeding.
A Hearing Officer's Report and Recommendations is not a final administrative determination of the Public Employment Relations Commission. The report is submitted to the Director of Representation who reviews the Report, any exceptions 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.
