Decision Headnotes
1309.07000 – Unit Size
Employer's claim that creation of a unit of five psychologists would impair efficiency of operation is rejected. The school districts have not shown how this burden of negotiations would actually impair their operations within the meaning of the statute.
1309.05000 – Established Practices
Separate unit of psychologists is granted where existing unit of certificated employees does not seek to represent psychologists and they will be unrepresented if not granted separate unit. The history of separate representation, the lack of conclusive proof that the petitioned-for unit would impair efficient operations of the employer and the disenfranchisement of the psychologists if their petition is denied dictate formation of separate unit.
1309.04000 – Efficiency of Operation
