Decision 0351Ha – California State University (Statewide University Police Association)

Reconsideration means to review a previous matter implies that the same body that first issued the decision would review it and rule again. Request for reconsideration does not include right to reexamination by other than original panel of Board.

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. Including 59 contested positions would have resulted in 100 persons supervising 197 non-supervisors, sufficient distinction from Grayhound case (NLRB) where 121 dispatchers supervised 3,000 drivers, to hold different conclusion. 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
