Since July 1982, there have been several requests for this office to aid in the preparation and filing of requests to have positions labeled as Management or Confidential. To date all such requests have been unchallenged.
In addition this office has been called upon to represent two (2) Districts in hearings to determine the makeup and placement of an employee group.
Unions have the ability to file improper practice charges before the New York State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), alleging that the District has violated certain provisions of the Taylor Law. The process culminates in a quasi-judicial formal hearing before a PERB administrative law judge. This office has represented several Districts throughout the entire improper practice charge process, not only at the formal hearing.
