DECISION SUMMARY
Public Case No. RD 1983-015
International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 2 v.
City of DeSoto, Missouri
The two (2) issues before the Board were the status of the employees in the job classification of supervisor and whether the petitioned for Service Workers and clericals together constituted an appropriate bargaining unit.
The Board concluded that the employees designated as supervisors are in fact Working Foremen and are included in the unit.
If the Board excluded the three (3) Clerks from the unit of service employees, their position at the bargaining table would be weak and deny them their right to effective bargaining. To ensure their rights to effective bargaining, the Board included them in the bargaining unit.
Date Issued: November 21, 1983
