| 1: | | 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 | |
