Bargaining Units

Background

Under the Public Employees Fair Employment Act (Taylor Law), employees within the State of New York and State University have been separated into various "bargaining units" by the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) for the purpose of collective bargaining. PERB serves as the adjudicating body in cases of disputes between the State and the unions representing public employees and decides claims of improper practice and representation. Each bargaining unit is made up of titles which, in the view of the Board, share a "community of interest" with respect to terms and conditions of employment.
