| 154: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2015 July | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 31; Glen Bell; Lisa Krebs; Carol Gibbs; David Johnson; Maureen Haugh-Stover -vs- Department of Central Management Services and Illinois State Labor Relations Board: This case deals with a statute aimed at increasing efficiency in the state government by reducing collective bargaining unit membership among management-level state employees. The goal of the statute is to ensure that certain employees' undivided loyalty will be to the executive branch, as collective bargaining unit membership inhibits their ability to manage subordinates with whom they share common interests as collective bargaining members. To further that stated objective, the General Assembly passed a statute that gave the Governor the authority to designate up to 3,580 state employment positions. Designate in this context means that the Governor can file a petition and, so long as the employment position qualifies for exemption under certain statutory parameters, the employee occupying that position becomes excluded from his of her collective bargaining unit. | | | | Date Created: | 07-17-2015 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-DE-14-005; Case No. S-DE-14-008; Case No. S-DE-14-009;Case No. S-DE-14-010; Case No. S-DE-14-017; Case No. S-DE-14-021; Case No. S-DE-14-026; Case No. S-DE-14-028; Case No. S-DE-14-030; Case No. S-DE-14-031; Case No. S-DE-14-032; Case No. S-DE-14-034; Case No. S-DE-14-039; Case No. S-DE-14-040; Case No. S-DE-14-041;Case No. S-DE-14-042; Case No. S-DE-14-043; Case No. S-DE-14-044; Case No. S-DE-14-045 IL App (1st) 133454 No. I-13-3454 No. I-13-3605 No. I-13-3908 No. I-13-3909 No. I-13-3910 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000055105 Original UID: 176529 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
