DECISION SUMMARY
Public Case No. R 1977-014
St. Louis County Fire Fighters Association, Local 398, International Association of Fire Fighters v.
City of Hazelwood, Missouri
IAFF filed a petition for all Fire Department employees of the City of Hazelwood, Missouri. The Board concluded that the Fire Chief was a supervisor. The Board also concluded that Captains were supervisors, despite the fact that they work the same shifts and live in the same house as the other Fire Fighters. Finally, the Board concluded that Lieutenants were not supervisors. They noted that Lieutenants could not effectively recommend the hiring, promotion, or discharge of employees. The record indicated that Lieutenants were more analogous to lead workers.
