DECISION SUMMARY
Public Case No. R 1981-007
(Cross Reference R 1980-031)Miscellaneous Drivers, Helpers & Public Employees Union, Teamsters, Local 610 v.
Affton Fire Protection District, Affton, Missouri
Teamsters filed a petition for all Fire Fighters, excluding the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief, employed by the Affton Fire Protection District. The Board concluded that the Captains were not true supervisors. They noted that Captains played no role in the hiring, firing, and promotion of other employees. The Captains’ authority to direct Fire Fighters at the fire scene does not require sufficient use of independent discretion to ascribe supervisory status to the Captains. Any supervision that does occur by the Captains is over activities rather than employees.
