| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2013 November | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Section 6.1 of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act authorizes the Governor to designate for exclusion from self-organization and collective bargaining up to 3,580 State employment positions within State agencies directly responsible to the Governor. 5 ILCS 315/6.1(a)(2012). These three consolidated cases present the issue whether that authority extends to positions within the Illinois Pollution Control Board (PCB), and one of these cases presents the same question with respect to a position at the Human Rights Commission (HRC). The Board has previously found that the Governor's authority did not extend to positions within the PCB or two other agencies, the Illinois Commerce Commission and the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, State of Ill. Dep't of Cent. Mgm. Servs. and Am. Fed'n of State, Cnty. and Mun. Employees, Council 3, Case Nos. S-DE-14-047, S-DE-14-083 and S-DE-14-086, 30 PERI 83 (IL IRB-SP Oct. 15, 2013); however, that decision was made without the benefit of an oral hearing on the issue of legislative intent. There was such a hearing here, and consequently we revisit the issue. | | | | Date Created: | 11 15 2013 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-DE-14-092; Case No. S-DE-14-093;Case No. S-DE-14-094 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000047958 Original UID: 170046 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
