58 FLRA No. 3
U. S. DepT. of The Army, North Central Civilian Personnel Operation Center, Rock Island, Illinois and AFGE, Local 15, AFL-CIO, Case No. CH-RP-01-0033 (Decided August 9, 2002)
The Authority granted the Agency's application for review of the Regional Director's (RD's) decision finding that several employees were not excluded from a proposed bargaining unit as they were not engaged in "personnel work" as that term is used in § 7112(b)(3) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute.
The Authority explained that it had never issued a decision directly addressing whether employees who perform personnel duties for Agency employees located outside the bargaining unit would be excluded under § 7112(b)(3). It further noted that existing precedent did not provide sufficient guidance. Therefore, review was granted and the parties instructed to submit briefs.
