     By motion of the Office of State Employee Relations dated February 12, 1976, it was
moved that the date of March 1, 1976, be established as a cutoff date for the filing of
any further petitions for unit determinations in the foregoing proceeding.  The motion
was argued in open hearing on February 12, 1976, and granted by the hearing examiner,
with stipulations that certain publication requirements be met.  The contents of that
motion and the granting thereof are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
   
     At the close of the substantive hearings on the Petitions for Appropriate Unit
Determination and Motions to Intervene therein, as were closed on July 1, 1976, the hear-
ing examiner announced the following timetable:  (1) any mutual or unilateral amendments
to the petitions for unit determination will be made and filed with the Maine Labor Rela-
tions Board on or before the close of business July 16, 1976; (2) the parties will be able
to file post-hearing briefs, at their option, until Friday, July 30, 1976, and any post-
hearing briefs so filed must be received in the offices of the Maine Labor Relations Board
on or prior to July 30, 1976; and (3) the parties may be asked to brief certain issues by
the hearing examiner on points which require clarification.  If a request for such a brief
is forthcoming, the parties will be advised of the filing date in the request itself.
 
     This is the first substantive decision rendered under the State Employees Labor
Relations Act which specifically incorporates standards found in Section 979-E, Paragraph
2, of that statute.  Specifically, it is the first time that the triple standards of (1)
insuring the fullest freedom in exercising the rights guaranteed by the State Employees
Labor Relations Act, (2) to insure a clear and identifiable community of interest among
employees concerned, and (3) to avoid excessive fragmentation among bargaining units in
State Government have been applied in such a proceeding.  While the first two standards
appear under the provisions of Section 966, Paragraph 2, of the Municipal Employees Labor
Relations Act, this decision rendered under the State Employees Labor Relations Act re-
presents the first occasion that all three standards have been applied simultaneously.
In making the following conclusions regarding the seven bargaining units proposed herein,
the Executive Director has taken into consideration the three foregoing standards as well
as the testimony offered by petitioners and intervenors, the cited experiences from other
jurisdictions which have collective bargaining at the State employee level, and the argu-
ments set forth in exhibits and post-hearing briefs.  Of particular interest is the
testimony from Office of State Employee Relations witness Melvin H. Osterman, Jr., Esquire,
regarding the experience in New York State, i.e., the fact that that jurisdiction has eight
bargaining units for more than 180,000 state employees.  Moreover, two of these eight units
are concerned with State Police personnel and a third unit is concerned with State Univer-
sity "professional" employees.  Consequently, the expert testimony offered by Mr. Osterman
indicated that the five remaining bargaining units in New York State government service
covered more than 140,000 employees.  Further expert testimony from George Bennett, Deputy
Commissioner for Employee Relations for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, indicated that

                                        -4-

our sister state in New England has been able to rearrange its collective bargaining law
(effective in 1974) for employees at the state level without a proliferation of bargain-
ing units.  It is with these factors in mind that the hearing examiner believes that the
seven collective bargaining units set forth in this report are appropriate for effective
operation of the collective bargaining process contemplated in the State Employees Labor
Relations Act.
   
   
1.  ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
   
     Employees in this unit generally perform their duties in an office environment and
their work product may generally be described as a service, opposed to the production of
product(s).  Employees in this unit are commonly referred to as "white collar" workers
who work with and near light office equipment during a standardized work week.  Their
career ladders, promotions and transfers are almost exclusively within this unit and
they have unique interests regarding their working conditions, i.e., parking facilities,
heat and air conditioning, ventilation, rest periods and facilities therefor, rest rooms,
dress codes, inclement weather policy, policies concerning advancement, training and pro-
motion, equipment replacement, cafeteria service or its proximity, and vacation schedule.
There is also concern for the basic considerations of pay, retirement, and personnel
rules.
   
     These employees generally work inside and with other employees or members of the
public who share interrelated work areas, functions and/or concerns.  Employees in this
unit are seldom, if ever, subject to emergency call back or standby requirements or
shift work.  These employees are seldom, if ever, required to supply any of the tools of
their profession as these items are generally part of the office environment provided by
the employer.  Most of these employees have private training and/or experience which
qualify them for their jobs and give them relatively high potential for transfers and
promotions to other generic groupings or job titles within the bargaining unit.                      

     The following job categories are appropriately included in this unit:

2.  PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL SERVICES
   
     Employees in this unit generally possess a post-secondary school education and/or
are involved in the performance of professional or technical functions which require
specialized training and, in some instances, include a license or registration require-
ment.  This specialized training is to be distinguished from general academic preparation
or participation through an apprenticeship or training program.  The work product of
employees in this unit may be of an intellectual nature and may vary in content and scope
although usually performed during a normal work week.  These employees may have to exer-
cise discretion in scheduling and performing their tasks and these tasks may be of a
nature which may not be standardized (i.e., not scaled on productivity schedules commonly
associated with routine, manual or physical tasks).  These employees frequently perform
interrelated work in which the employee-supervisor relationship is only incidental to the
work produced.  Job performance for these employees frequently qualifies them for promo-
tions to positions of a similar nature with increased responsibilities and increased com-
pensation.  They may be involved in analysis, design, construction, operation and/or
maintenance of special programs and, consequently, consider themselves as "professional"
and they may affiliate with professional organizations.  These employees are concerned
with job fulfillment, professional status, incentive awards, and in-service or educa-
tional benefits to a point which may distinguish them from other state employees.  Of
paramount importance is parity of pay and professional affiliations with counterparts in
the private sector.  These employees are primarily of the "white collar" variety and fre-
quently associate with other "white collar" workers in the performance of their duties.
 
     The following job categories are appropriate for inclusion in this bargaining unit:
   
     Accountant I                                 Bank Examiner I

3.  INSTITUTIONAL SERVICES                 

     Employees in this unit render services and care to patients, inmates, residents and
"clients" who are confined on a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week basis at the State's institutions.
These employees may require special orientation to the kinds of persons they treat,
scrutinize, counsel, educate or guard and their work may require shift work, variable
work, or overtime, (i.e., there may be no standardized work week).  The upper limit of
formal education generally required of employees in this unit is graduation from high
school and career development is usually satisfied and enhanced through internal promo-
tions, career ladders and in-service training programs.  There is limited opportunity for
promotions or lateral transfers outside the bargaining unit.
 
     These employees have substantial concern about their working environment, the conduct
of persons they serve and the security of their particular institutional setting.
Accordingly, they have a special interest in shift differential, the former so-called
"combat pay," holiday pay, call back policy and pay, meal allowances, social training
required and/or desirable to improve their relationship and working ability with the
client/patients/inmates whom they serve, shift assignments, seniority, job posting and
special career ladders.
   
     The following job categories are appropriately included in this unit:

*From the testimony taken at the unit determination hearings it was apparent that custo-
dians working in the institutional setting have significant contact with patients and, in
fact, play a role in patient care and rehabilitation.  Accordingly, it is the recommenda-
tion of the hearing examiner that the job title of "Custodian" be placed in two categories,
momentarily, first in this particular bargaining unit and also in the operational and
maintenance services unit which follows later in this report.  While the title of Custo-
dian Worker appears in one general context, it is apparent to the hearing examiner that
persons in this job category function in two specific settings, i.e., the institutional
setting which involves patient contact and care, and other settings which are devoid of
such special requirements.  In the long run, it is the recommendation of the hearing
examiner that this job category be split and a separate or special title designated for
custodial workers who perform services in the institutional setting, thus allowing for the
custodial workers in a non-institutional setting to become exclusively controlled under
the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement, if any, relating to the Operations
Maintenance and Support Services unit.  This dychotomy of titles is desirable not only to
prevent fragmentation of job titles between bargaining units, but also to describe the
functions performed by persons in their various employment settings.  During the unit
determination hearings, it became painfully apparent that many persons working in the
institutional setting were performing services not confined to the job description within
which they were working and were, in fact, providing an interchange of services among
several job classifications.  Therefore, it is with reluctance that the hearing examiner
recommends the inclusion of Custodial Workers (institutional) be included in this bargain-
ing unit while other custodial workers be included in the Operations Maintenance and
Support Services unit, in spite of the fact that this recommendation necessitates the
splitting of this particular job category among two bargaining units for the time being.
 
   
4.  LAW ENFORCEMENT, PUBLIC SAFETY AND REGULATORY SERVICES (NON POLICE)
   
     This unit includes job classifications involved with law enforcement and other public
safety and regulatory functions, excluding State Police personnel.  Many of these
employees are subject to call backs and frequently work a nonstandard work week.  Their
work may require the wearing of a uniform and their job duties may involve an element of
personal danger.  Many of these employees enjoy a retirement plan which is different from
that which is accorded to "regular" state employees who work standard work weeks under
conditions where there is no common element of personal danger associated with job perfor-
mance.  Moreover, these employees perform their services away from a set office environ-
ment and are frequently called upon to travel to general or specified locations in order
to perform their services.
   
     Employees in this unit receive varying degrees of special training in various aspects
of law enforcement.  Some of these employees are required to be in good physical condition
although this is not necessarily a condition of employment and they must be free of psy-
chological problems or blemishes on their personal records.  These employees are fre-
quently supervised by immediate supervisors who have been promoted through the ranks.
 
     These employees may not perceive themselves as either white or blue collar workers
but as specialized professionals whose work experience and qualifications are unique to
the services they are required to perform.  They have special interests in hours of work,
uniform allowances, holiday pay, vacation scheduling, safety equipment and procedures,
meal allowances, standby pay, pay for court appearances, scheduling and days off, mileage
allowance, special health insurance, special retirement benefits and physical examinations.

     The following job categories are appropriately included in this unit:

     Campground Ranger I                          Criminal Inspector
     Campground Ranger II                         Dairy Inspector
     Capitol Police Officer                       Day Care Supervisor

5.  STATE POLICE SERVICES             

     Employees in this bargaining unit have the same interests, needs and concerns as
employees in the Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Regulatory Services unit except they
are members of the Maine State Police in the grade of Trooper, Corporal and Sergeant.
Accordingly, it is the opinion of the hearing examiner that employees of the Maine State
Police in the grades of Trooper, Corporal and Sergeant should be included in this.
bargaining unit.
   
So Ordered.
   
     In establishing this separate bargaining unit, the hearing examiner is persuaded by
the testimony offered therefor by proponents of the Maine State Troopers Association and
the post-hearing brief of that Association.  Petitioner-Intervenor Maine State Troopers
Association has cited compelling rationale for a separate state police bargaining unit
when it refers to state and national precedents elsewhere in the United States and makes
particular reference to the Taft-Hartley Act amendments to the National Labor Relations
Act which are intended to insure plant-protection employees in the time of labor unrest.
The hearing examiner believes it desirable to establish this separate bargaining unit in
such a way to avoid conflicting loyalties during periods of labor unrest or acts violative
of Section 979-C of the State Employees Labor Relations Act.  In its post-hearing brief,
petitioner-intervenor has cited recent events and the standby (and contemplated interven-
tion) functions of the Maine State Police.  The role of the employees in this bargaining
unit under such circumstances warrants the establishment of a separate and distinct bar-
gaining unit without violating the excessive fragmentation dictates of Section 979-E of
the State Employees Labor Relations Act.
   
   
6.  OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES
   
     Employees in this unit are primarily skilled and semi-skilled "blue collar" employees,
including the traditionally recognized crafts and trades.  They may be involved with
skilled or semi-skilled manual labor and construction, repair, maintenance or service of

                                        -13-
____________________________________________________________________________________   
   
buildings, domestic and/or repair service (in non-institutional setting), or the operation   
of machines, or equipment and vehicles.  These employees in this unit typically work with
things, not people, and the upper limit of formal education required to perform the job
function generally does not exceed graduation from secondary schooling.  While these em-
ployees may be able to transfer into other jobs requiring similar skills and abilities
within the bargaining unit, their career ambitions are usually satisfied through the use
of career ladders.  The lower levels of supervision are frequently filled by employees who
have been promoted through the ranks.  Employees in the unit may be employed in either
indoor or outdoor locations.
  
     Employees in this unit have special interests in job security, career ladders, job
posting and promotional opportunities, progression from apprectice to journeymen status,
seniority, shift differentials, and assignments of work and holiday work, inclement
weather policy, equipment, uniform and tool allowances, overtime practices and pay and
health programs.

effective utilization of other employees and, under collective bargaining, will assume
varying degrees of responsibility for contract administration (i.e., criteria set forth

8.  EXCLUDED EMPLOYEES                     

     During the course of the Unit Determination Hearing proceedings in this case and the
subsequent preparation of this report, it has been necessary to consider many job classi-
fications which are alleged to be excluded from the definition of a "state employee" as
set forth in Section 979-A, Paragraph 6, of the State Employees Labor Relations Act.  On
examination, the hearing examiner has found the following job categories to be properly.
excluded from the definition of "state employee" and those job categories are therefore
not appropriate for inclusion in any of the foregoing 7 bargaining units.  The excluded
job categories are:

     It is obvious from the magnitude and duration of the hearings which resulted in
this report that changes in the job structuring of state government have occurred during
its preparation.  To the extent that these changes have resulted in the elimination of
positions, the inclusion of those positions in this report can now be ignored.  On the
other hand, if new positions have been created, if the contents of job classifications
have changed, or if a particular job classification has been inadverdently omitted from
this report, then a unit clarification proceeding conducted pursuant to Rule 1.13 may be
in order.  The parties will note that there is no particular time restriction as to when
unit clarification proceedings may be initiated.  Moreover, the contents of this report
are subject to modification by the parties pursuant to the provisions of Rule 1.01 of
the Unit Determination Rules when there is mutual agreement for such change.  The fore-
going techniques will, if warranted, facilitate the deletion or addition of a particular
job title to a bargaining unit without the necessity for challenging the entire composi-
tion of the particular bargaining unit(s) involved.
   
     The hearing examiner wishes to take this opportunity to thank the petitioners and
intervenors for their cooperative and very detailed presentations over the past several
months.
