Request for severance denied where evidence failed to support finding that information Services Department employees have a separate and distinct community of interest from other professional and technical employees of District. Like information service employees, other professional and technical employees are required to have college education and/or advanced training, work flexible schedules, and are required to travel from a central work location to other work sites. Also, the information services employees lack common supervision and have frequent work-related interaction with other classified employees. Service of the severence request adequate under Regulation 32140 and 33015 where employee in the unit signed the proof of service. No evidence that the employee was a authorized representative of the requesting party.
