H.O. No. 79-1

Synopsis:

A Commission Hearing Officer finds that uniform firefighters serving in an emergency medical program most appropriately should remain in the firefighter negotiations unit primarily because of the Police-Fire arbitration legislation. Also to remain in the firefighter unit are Fire Prevention Inspectors and the Department Clerk.

The Hearing Officer also finds appropriate a new unit of civilians in the emergency medical program including those who are CETA employees. No merit is attached to the employer's argument that a firefighter local cannot represent a civilian unit, and it is recommended that an election be conducted.

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.
