On October 2, 2015, Local 375 and the Employers signed a stipulation of settlement in which they agreed that, with the exception of employees in certain positions and in certain agencies, employees presently in level I of the Managerial Pay Plan in eight titles share a community of interest with Local 375s Engineering and Scientific bargaining unit. Accordingly, the Employers agreed to withdraw their objection to Local 375s representation of these employees, establish eight new non-managerial titles, and recognize Local 375 as the sole and exclusive bargaining representative of employees in
8 OCB2d 31 (BOC 2015) 3 these titles.
