Just as MMBA section 3507.3 permits an “all professionals” unit, MMBA section 3508 permits an “all peace officer” unit absent proof that such a broader unit “is unable to effectively represent” a particular subset of employees.

Determination of lack of supervisory status based upon totality of evidence presented. Sergeants did not possess or exercise independent judgment when administering disciplinary action, but rather ordered in accordance with the superior's opinion.

Mere potential to resolve informal grievances, is insufficient to support finding of supervisory status, and evidence showed day-to-day disputes were reconciled by sergeants, not as agents for the employer, but as co-workers concerned with reducing disruption of the work environment. MOU between the parties does not make sergeants but as co-workers concerned with reducing disruption of the work environment. MOU between the parties does not make sergeants more or view all topics or full text. |
