Citation 2020 FPSLREB 35
Before David Olsen
Decision Type Labour Relations
Subject Terms Bargaining unit
Keywords Labour relations – Definition of the bargaining unit – Employee classification – Administration group
Original Language English
Summary:

The bargaining agent made an application to determine whether certain employees who work in the Information Services Directorate should be classified as members of the Technical group instead of the unrepresented Administration group and thus included in the bargaining unit represented by the bargaining agent – the Board found that the group definition should be given a static interpretation based on the context in which the employer established its classification plan – the Board also determined that the fact that positions inside and outside the bargaining unit were recruited together was not relevant – the Board concluded that all three positions in question are best fitted to the Administration group, given the specialized body of knowledge required as well as their advisory and discretionary duties.

Application dismissed.
