Exclusive unit work

By Harvey Randall, Esq.

Exclusive unit work
CSEA Local 1946 and NYC Board of Education and Local 891, International Union of Operating Engineers. PERB U25506

PERB decided that although that the Union had not exclusively performed painting work and dismissed that allegation, it found that the Board of Education had violated Civil Service Law Section 209a.1(d) when it refused the Union?s demands to negotiate the transfer of unit work and provide the Union with information concerning the transfer of such work. The Board commented that in determining whether the work at issue in a transfer of unit work case is exclusive unit work, ?the charging party must establish a discernible boundary around the claimed unit work which would appropriately set it apart from work done by non-unit personnel.?
