| 107: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2010 December | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Department of Central Management (employer) seeks review of a decision by the Illinois Labor Relations Board, State Panel (Board), certifying the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31 (union), as the exclusive representative of a single position, that of the chief hearing officer of the Property Tax Appeal Board. See 5 ILCS 315/9(I)(West 2008). The employer argues that the chief hearing officer is a managerial employee, a supervisor, or both and that he consequently has no right under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (Act) (5 ILCS 315/1 through 27 (West 2008)) to participate in collective bargaining. Further, the employer accuses the Board of unfairness and procedural impropriety. The Employer complains that the Board failed to conduct an evidentiary hearing before rejecting, out of hand, the employer's argument that the chief hearing officer should be excluded from collective bargaining. | | | | Date Created: | 02 09 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-RC-09-136; No. 4-09-0722 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000047653 Original UID: 169704 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |

CMS argues it was improperly and unfairly denied an evidentiary hearing and due process, and ALJs are managerial employees under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (Act) (5 ILCS 315/1 through 27 (West 2008)) and, therefore, excluded from engaging in collective bargaining. we reverse, finding the ALJs in the case at bar to be managerial employees as a matter of law. | | | | Date Created: | 02 09 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-RC-09-132 ; No. 4-09-0721 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000047654 Original UID: 169705 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |

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 | |
