Before: Judges Gradwohl, Kratz and Davis
GRADWOHL, J :
This matter comes before the Commission upon the joint stipulation of the parties. The Commission being duly advised finds that the definition of "academic work week" is a mandatory subject of negotiations. However, the Commission further finds that the respondent is not required to negotiate the scheduling of work or the control of work assignments, same being within the managerial prerogative of respondent. Any economic impact upon respondent's teaching employees, who are members of the bargaining unit represented by petitioner, which results from such employees being required to work "split" workdays (such as additional transportation costs or additional meals away from home), is a mandatory subject of negotiation.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that both parties hereto forthwith undertake good faith negotiations concerning the definition of "academic work week" and concerning the economic impact on respondent's teaching employees, who are members of the bargaining unit represented by petitioner, which results from such employees being required to work "split" workdays. The respondent College is not required, however, to negotiate the scheduling of work or the making of work assignments.
All Judges assigned to the panel in this case join in the entry of this Order.
