| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2011 December | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | On July 27, 2011, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Sharon B. Wells issued a Recommended Decision and Order (RDO) in the above-captioned case, finding that three employees of the City of East Moline (City or Employer) within newly created positions of Assistant Director of Engineering, Senior Engineer, and GIS/CADD Coordinator are professional employees within the meaning of Section 3(m) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, 5 ILCS 315 (2010), as amended (Act). Because Section9(b) allows combined units of professional and non-professional employees only where a majority of each category of employees agrees to such a combined unit these employees status as professionals became an issue when the Employer filed a unit clarification petition seeking to expressly exclude them from an existing historical unit of City employees. The ALJ agreed with the Employer's position that the new positions were professional, and ordered a poll of the three professional employees to determine whether they wished to be included in the existing bargaining unit of City employees. | | | | Date Created: | 01 04 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-UC-08-398 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000047470 Original UID: 169475 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
