DECISION SUMMARY
Public Case No. R 1979-024
St. Charles Professional Fire Fighters, Local 1921, International Association of Fire Fighters v.
City of St. Charles, Missouri
IAFF filed a petition for all Captains and Fire Fighters employed by the St. Charles Fire Department. The Board concluded that Captains are not true supervisors. The Captains played no significant role in hiring, transferring, or promoting other employees, but were more akin to a lead worker. Captains oversaw only a small number of Fire Fighters, and there was only a slight difference in pay.
The Board included the Captains in the bargaining unit.
Date Issued:November 13, 1979
