NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Public Employees Relations Commission has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by James M. Duggan, Case No.: DS-2010-002 on July 23, 2010. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The answer to Petitioner’s first question is because the “interim” paraprofessional II classification is not specifically included in the bargaining unit, it falls within the category of “all other employees,” and is, thus, excluded. The answer to Petitioner’s second question is that pursuant to Article I, section six, of the Florida Constitution, the Legislature, not the Commission, has established public employees’ rights to collective bargaining.
A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: The Clerk, Public Employees Relations Commission, 4050 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0950 or on-line: PERC.myflorida.com.
