OSA, 11 OCB2d 22 (BOC 2018)
OSA petitioned to add the title Patient Representative to its Staff Analyst bargaining unit. DC 37 intervened and sought to add the title to its Clerical bargaining unit. HHC argued that Patient Representatives are excluded from collective bargaining because they are managerial and/or confidential under Taylor Law § 201.7(a) and in the alternative, HHC Act § 7385(11). The Board found that the Patient Representative title is eligible for collective bargaining and that either bargaining unit is appropriate. The Board directed an election to ascertain the wishes of the employees as to their union representative.
