Title:  

Decisions and Opinions of the Illinois State Labor Relations Board

 
 Volume/Number:  2013 October 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Public Act 97-1172 amended the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, 5 ILCS 315 (2012)(Act), in a variety of ways, all with the effect of diminishing the number of employees of the State of Illinois in higher level positions with access to collective bargaining rights under Section 6 of the Act. Specifically at issue in this case is one method provided through the addition of Section 6.1. New Section6.1 authorizes the Governor to designate for exclusion from self-organization and collective bargaining rights up to 3,580 State employment positions within State agencies directly responsible to the Governor. 5 ILCS 315/6.1(a)(20122). These three consolidated cases present the issue whether that authority extends to positions within the Illinois Commerce Commission, the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, and the Illinois Pollution Control Board. It is undisputed that these three agencies are not, in fact, directly responsible to the Governor, and finding as we more fully explain below that the limiting phrase directly responsible to the Governor is unambiguous, we conclude that the Governor's authority under Section 6.1 does not extend to positions within these agencies.
