LEEBA, 11 OCB2d 13 (BOC 2018)
LEEBA filed a petition to represent Special Officer titles in a new bargaining unit. LEEBA argued that Special Officers should be fragmented from their current bargaining unit because changes to the organization of the Special Officers’ command structure, training, job responsibilities, and duties make their current placement no longer appropriate. Respondents argued that the petition should be dismissed because LEEBA has not presented sufficient evidence of changed circumstances to demonstrate that the Special Officers’ bargaining unit is no longer appropriate. The Board found that LEEBA did not proffer sufficient evidence of changed circumstances that would warrant reconsideration of the Board’s previous holdings that placement of the Special Officers in their existing bargaining unit is appropriate. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed.
