| 165: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2013 November | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | On October 15, 2013, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Elaine Tarver issued a Recommended Decision and Order (RDO) in Case No. S-DE-14-095, finding that a set of designations made on behalf of the Governor by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, 5 ILCS 315 (2012), was properly made. CMS's petition designated seven positions at various State agencies, all pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(3) and (5) of the Act. After obtaining additional information from CMS, the ALJ found the designations appropriate pursuant Section 6.1(b)(3) and therefore did not address the redundant basis for designation under Section 6.1(b)(5). | | | | Date Created: | 11 15 2013 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-DE-14-095; Case No. S-DE-14-098;Case No. S-DE-14-099 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000047957 Original UID: 170045 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |
| 166: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2013 November | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Section 6.1 of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act authorizes the Governor to designate for exclusion from self-organization and collective bargaining up to 3,580 State employment positions within State agencies directly responsible to the Governor. 5 ILCS 315/6.1(a)(2012). These three consolidated cases present the issue whether that authority extends to positions within the Illinois Pollution Control Board (PCB), and one of these cases presents the same question with respect to a position at the Human Rights Commission (HRC). The Board has previously found that the Governor's authority did not extend to positions within the PCB or two other agencies, the Illinois Commerce Commission and the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, State of Ill. Dep't of Cent. Mgm. Servs. and Am. Fed'n of State, Cnty. and Mun. Employees, Council 3, Case Nos. S-DE-14-047, S-DE-14-083 and S-DE-14-086, 30 PERI 83 (IL IRB-SP Oct. 15, 2013); however, that decision was made without the benefit of an oral hearing on the issue of legislative intent. There was such a hearing here, and consequently we revisit the issue. | | | | Date Created: | 11 15 2013 | | | | Agency ID: | Case No. S-DE-14-092; Case No. S-DE-14-093;Case No. S-DE-14-094 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000047958 Original UID: 170046 FIRST WORD: Decisions | |

On January 23, 2013, AFSCME filed timely exceptions to the RDO pursuant to Section 1200.135(a) of the Board's Rules and Regulations, 80 Ill. Admin. Code Parts 1200 through 1240.
