D.R. No. 79-18
Synopsis:
The Director of Representation dismisses a Representation Petition filed by prosecutor's detectives who sought to be severed from a negotiations unit consisting of detectives and investigators. The Director finds that there is an identifiable community of interest between detectives and investigators and that the existing organization did not unfairly represent the interests of detectives. The detectives claimed that the investigators are interested in obtaining more immediate benefits than are the detectives and that there is a numerical superiority of investigators over detectives impacting upon the organization's decision-making processes. The Director determines that "competing interests" among groups of employees within a negotiations unit with respect to benefits do not constitute a "conflict of interest" which would warrant unit separation. The Director further determines that the fact of the numerical superiority of investigators does not, in itself, indicate that the detectives have received unfair representation.
