LEEBA, 15 OCB2d 20 (BOC 2022)
LEEBA filed a petition to fragment Special Officers and Supervising Special Officers employed at DCAS from a bargaining unit represented by Local 237 that includes Special Officers and Supervising Special Officers at various City agencies and at HHC. LEEBA argued that the Supreme Court’s decision in Janus and additional law enforcement duties and training constituted changed circumstances such that placement of these titles in their current bargaining unit is no longer appropriate. Local 237 and the City argued that there were no new circumstances that warrant the fragmentation of the titles from the existing unit. The Board found the holding of Janus did not change the Board’s long-standing fragmentation standard and that LEEBA’s assertions do not establish changed circumstances warranting fragmentation. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed.
