Public Case No. R 1998-003
International Association of Fire Fighters
Northern Warren County Ambulance District, Warrenton, Missouri
There were three (3) issues in this case.
The threshold issue concerned the scope of the bargaining unit. The Board found that a unit of all full-time and regular part-time employees in the District was an appropriate unit.
The main issue was whether three (3) on-call individuals (known as PRN) qualified for inclusion in the unit as regular part-time employees. The Board found that they did. Thus, PRN’s Dieckman, Hellebusch, and Gibson were included in the unit. The other individuals on the District’s PRN call list were excluded from the unit because they were deemed casual employees.
A secondary issue was whether full-time employees Box, Freymuth, and Flake were supervisors. The Board found that they were not. Accordingly, they were included in the unit along with the other full-time employees.
