Court is the public employer and employer |

14 | | circuits,

18 | | responsible for the
supervision and control of inmates at |
19 | | correctional facilities. The term

same employer for the same service |
|
| | 10000SB1752sam001 | - 19 - | LRB100 06890 RJF 23171 a |
|
|
1 | | in a subsequent calendar year.
|
2 | | (q-5) "State agency" means an agency directly responsible |
3 | | to the Governor, as defined in Section 3.1 of the Executive |
4 | | Reorganization Implementation Act, and the Illinois Commerce |
5 | | Commission, the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, the |
6 | | Civil Service Commission, the Pollution Control Board, the |
7 | | Illinois Racing Board, and the Department of State Police Merit |
8 | | Board. |
9 | | (r) "Supervisor" is: |
10 | | (1) An employee whose principal work is substantially
|
11 | | different from that of his or her subordinates and who has |
12 | | authority, in the
interest of the employer, to hire, |
13 | | transfer, suspend, lay off, recall,
promote, discharge, |
14 | | direct, reward, or discipline employees, to adjust
their |
15 | | grievances, or to effectively recommend any of those |
16 | | actions, if the
exercise
of that authority is not of a |
17 | | merely routine or clerical nature, but
requires the |
18 | | consistent use of independent judgment. Except with |
19 | | respect to
police employment, the term "supervisor" |
20 | | includes only those individuals
who devote a preponderance |
21 | | of their employment time to exercising that
authority, |
22 | | State supervisors notwithstanding. Nothing in this |
23 | | definition prohibits an individual from also meeting the |
24 | | definition of "managerial employee" under subsection (j) |
25 | | of this Section. In addition, in determining
supervisory |
26 | | status in police employment, rank shall not be |
|
| | 10000SB1752sam001 | - 20 - | LRB100 06890 RJF 23171 a |
|
|
1 | | determinative.
The Board shall consider, as evidence of |
2 | | bargaining unit inclusion or
exclusion, the common law |
3 | | enforcement policies and relationships between
police |
4 | | officer ranks and certification under applicable civil |
5 | | service law,
ordinances, personnel codes, or Division 2.1 |
6 | | of Article 10 of the Illinois
Municipal Code, but these |
7 | | factors shall not
be the sole or predominant factors |
8 | | considered by the Board in determining
police supervisory |
9 | | status.
|
10 | | Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding |
11 | | paragraph, in determining
supervisory status in fire |
12 | | fighter employment, no fire fighter shall be
excluded as a |
13 | | supervisor who has established representation rights under
|
14 | | Section 9 of this Act. Further, in new fire fighter units, |
15 | | employees shall
consist of fire fighters of the rank of |
16 | | company officer and below. If a company officer otherwise |
17 | | qualifies as a supervisor under the preceding paragraph, |
18 | | however, he or she shall
not be included in the fire |
19 | | fighter
unit. If there is no rank between that of chief and |
20 | | the
highest company officer, the employer may designate a |
21 | | position on each
shift as a Shift Commander, and the |
22 | | persons occupying those positions shall
be supervisors. |
23 | | All other ranks above that of company officer shall be
|
24 | | supervisors.

4 | | Relations Board on or after April 5, 2013 (the effective |
5 | | date of Public Act 97-1172), or (iii) for which a petition |
6 | | is pending before the Illinois Public Labor Relations Board |
7 | | on that date, an employee who qualifies as a supervisor |
8 | | under (A) Section 152 of the National Labor Relations Act |
9 | | and (B) orders of the National Labor Relations Board |
10 | | interpreting that provision or decisions of courts |
11 | | reviewing decisions of the National Labor Relations Board. |
12 | | (s)(1) "Unit" means a class of jobs or positions that are |
13 | | held by
employees whose collective interests may suitably be |
14 | | represented by a labor
organization for collective bargaining. |

16 | | employed by fire departments and fire protection

17 | | non-State peace officers, and peace officers in the Department |
18 | | of
State Police, a bargaining unit determined by the Board |
19 | | shall not include both

21 | | subsection (s) and except for bargaining units in existence on |

supervisors and nonsupervisors, or supervisors only, |
2 | | except as provided in
paragraph (2) of this subsection (s) and |
3 | | except for bargaining units in
existence on January 1, 1986 |
4 | | (the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1985). A |
5 | | bargaining unit determined by the Board to contain peace |
6 | | officers
shall contain no employees other than peace officers |
7 | | unless otherwise agreed to
by the employer and the labor |
8 | | organization or labor organizations involved.
Notwithstanding |
9 | | any other provision of this Act, a bargaining unit, including a
|
10 | | historical bargaining unit, containing sworn peace officers of |
11 | | the Department
of Natural Resources (formerly designated the |
12 | | Department of Conservation) shall
contain no employees other |
13 | | than such sworn peace officers upon the effective
date of this |
14 | | amendatory Act of 1990 or upon the expiration date of any
|
15 | | collective bargaining agreement in effect upon the effective |
16 | | date of this
amendatory Act of 1990 covering both such sworn |
17 | | peace officers and other
employees.
|
18 | | (2) Notwithstanding the exclusion of supervisors from |
19 | | bargaining units
as provided in paragraph (1) of this |
20 | | subsection (s), a public
employer may agree to permit its |
21 | | supervisory employees to form bargaining units
and may bargain |
22 | | with those units. This Act shall apply if the public employer
|
23 | | chooses to bargain under this subsection.

|
2 | | unit shall be court reporters employed by the 12th, 18th, 19th, |
3 | | and, on and after December 4, 2006, the 22nd judicial
circuits; |
4 | | and one unit shall be court reporters employed by all other
