Local 621 SEIU, 15 OCB2d 23 (BCB 2022)

The Union appealed the Report and Recommendations of an Impasse Panel regarding a dispute with the City over the salary range of Executive Director of Fleet Operations (FD) and Supervisor of Mechanics (Mechanical Equipment) Level III. The Union argued that the Impasse Panel erred in failing to properly consider the nature and duties of the two titles, did not give sufficient weight to the case law cited by the Union, and overemphasized the availability of compensatory time. As a result, the Panel improperly designated the titles as 35-hour positions. The City contended that the Panel properly considered the evidence, testimony, and arguments of the parties, and issued a report that is supported by the record and complies with the criteria set forth in the NYCCBL. The Board affirmed the Report in its entirety and declined to hear oral argument.
