The unit modification procedure, not the unfair practice charge procedure, is the appropriate forum to address disputes over the composition of bargaining units and to evaluate the duties of the employees at issue in order to determine whether their positions should be designated as confidential. The parties may not utilize the unfair practice procedure to circumvent the unit modification process.
