DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Public Employees Relations Commission has received the petition for declaratory statement from the Edison State College Faculty Federation, Case No. DS-2015-003. The petition seeks the agency’s opinion as to the applicability of Section 447.401, Florida Statutes, as it applies to the petitioner.

The petitioner is seeking a declaratory statement from PERC as to (1) whether a union’s participation as a party to a grievance procedure is limited to those circumstances where it has specifically negotiated that it may file or process a grievance in its own name and (2) whether a certified bargaining agent’s right to initiate and process grievances in its own name flows from its duty to bargain on behalf of bargaining unit employees and from its status as a signatory to a collective bargaining agreement.

A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: The Clerk, Public Employees Relations Commission, 4708 Capital Circle NW, Suite 300, Tallahassee, Florida 32303-7256.
