1309.01000 – In General/Definition of Appropriate Unit
A unit of recruiter, migrant services assistant; secondary school teacher, support services facilitator and youth advocate within the county migrant education program is found to be appropriate. The community of interest among the employees in the five classifications is based on their job duties involving outreach to the migrant community, the requirement that they be bilingual in English and Spanish, their common lines of supervision under the directors of the department and their qualifications, education and experience. Their work involves home and work site visits and is quite different than clerical employees.
