Determination of appropriate bargaining unit. For purposes of determining an appropriate unit, employees hired by, assigned to, or transferred to the joint powers entity shall be presumed to be the appropriate unit for all employees of the newly created joint powers entity, unless the commissioner determines it inappropriate under the standards established in section 179A.09. The commissioner may also approve an alternative bargaining unit structure agreed upon by all parties. The determination shall take effect as soon as practicable after filing of a petition, but not later than the date the joint powers entity is formally created.
Determination of appropriate bargaining unit. The bargaining unit may be expanded to other classes, or constricted, by mutual agreement of the Board and the Union. Disputed cases shall be submitted to the Public Employment Relations Board for a decision.
Determination of appropriate bargaining unit. (a) If a labor organization asserts in writing to a Bank that it holds cards requesting a representation election signed by at least thirty percent (30%) of the employees in a unit which that organization considers to be an appro- priate bargaining unit, the labor orga- nization and the Bank shall each des- ignate a representative who together shall request the American Arbitration Association (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Association’’) to submit to them from its National Panel of Professional Labor Arbitrators a list of seven (7) im- partial, qualified professional arbitra- tors. The two designated representa- tives shall meet promptly and, by al- ternately striking names from the list, arrive at the remaining person who, to- gether with the two representatives, shall constitute a Special Tribunal to rule on the labor organization’s request for an election. The impartial arbi- trator shall always act as the Chair- person of any Special Tribunal duly constituted under this section.
Determination of appropriate bargaining unit. The Union and Labor Relations staff will identify and seek a consensus on the composition of a properly-composed addition to the bargaining unit(s). If the parties are unable to reach a decision, they will use the services of an agreed to mediator to resolve their differences. The parties, and any subsequent mediator, shall consider NLRB standards in making their decision. Should the parties not reach agreement on the definition of a properly-composed addition to the bargaining unit(s) after mediation, the parties will jointly select a panel of umpires from whom to draw to resolve disputes regarding a properly-composed addition to the bargaining units. Umpires should possess qualifications sufficient to resolve issues which may involve NLRB rules or practices, bargaining history and complex labor relations situations.
Determination of appropriate bargaining unit. 1. The majority of the employees in any appropriately defined bargaining unit has the right to determine the organization representing that unit. Such organization represents all employees of the unit provided that such representation is through the Trades and Labor Council for Annual Employees of the Tennessee Valley Authority under this General Agreement for the purposes of collective bargaining and labor-management cooperation. Units defined by well-established standards and practice are recognized as appropriate units.
