Tansino issued a Recommended Decision and Order in the above-captioned case, recommending that the Illinois Labor Relations Board, State Panel, grant the motion for summary judgment filed by the County of Winnebago and the Sheriff of Winnebago County (collectively, Employer) in this matter and dismiss the majority interest representation petition filed by the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council (Petitioner) to represent all deputy sheriffs in the rank of sergeant in the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department. ALJ Tansino recommended that the petitioned-for employees be found to be supervisors within the meaning of Section 3(r) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (Act), 5 ILCS 315 (2010), as amended, because the parties had agreed in a recognition clause of a collective bargaining agreement for an existing bargaining unit of the Employer's patron deputies that officers in the rank of sergeant and above were supervisors. | | | | Date Created: | 06 28 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-RC-09-123 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000047660 Original UID: 169712 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |

Brosnan dismissed the unfair labor practice charge filed by Edward White (Charging Party) in the above-captioned case.
