(Official decision follows.) _________________________________________________________________ OFFICE OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING BOARD OF CERTIFICATION In the Matter of the Certification Proceeding -between-CITY OF NEW YORK, Petitioner, -and-LOCAL 375, CIVIL SERVICE TECHNICAL GUILD, DISTRICT COUNCIL 37, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, Respondent. __________________________________________________________________ ORDER AMENDING CERTIFICATION On March 16, 2007, the City of New York (“City”) filed a petition to amend Certification No. 26-78, a bargaining unit represented by Local 375, Civil Service Technical Guild, District Council 37, AFSCME, AFL-CIO (“Union”), to delete the titles Senior Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31335), Supervising Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31355), and Principal Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31360) and to add the title Associate Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31316), Levels I, II, and III, to reflect the reclassification of these titles. Notice of
Decision No. 10-2007 2 this petition was given to the public and the Union. The Union objected to the deletion of the Senior Air Pollution Inspector, Supervising Air Pollution Inspector, and Principal Air Pollution Inspector titles on the grounds that incumbents remain in the titles. Our investigation shows that there are incumbents serving in the Senior Air Pollution Inspector, Supervising Air Pollution Inspector, and Principal Air Pollution Inspector titles, and that the employees in these titles will be transferred to the Associate Air Pollution Inspector title after that title is certified. In order not to deprive these employees of union representation, the titles will be deleted upon notification from the City that the titles are vacant. NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in the Board of Certification by the New York City Collective Bargaining Law (New York City Administrative Code, Title 12, Chapter 3), it is hereby ORDERED that Certification No. 26-78 (as previously amended) be, and the same hereby is, further amended to add the title Associate Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31316), Levels I, II, and III, subject to existing contracts, if any; and it is further ORDERED that Certification No. 26-78 (as previously amended) be further amended to delete the titles Senior Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31335), Supervising Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31355), and Principal Air Pollution Inspector (Title Code No. 31360) when those titles become vacant.
