Decision 0306H – Unit Determination for Housestaff Employees of the University of California

Section 3579(c) of HEERA creates a presumption that all employees within an occupational group or groups should be included in a single representation unit unless there is a preponderance of evidence that such a unit would be inconsistent with the Act; p. 11.

As employees in the systemwide housestaff unit share a significant occupational community of interest, and a systemwide housestaff unit will avoid fragmentation of employee groups and unnecessary proliferation of units, Board concluded that a systemwide unit of housestaff employees is appropriate; p. 12.
