Sec.7-471-2. Functions

Latest version.

It is the function of the quasi-judicial board to enforce the collective bargaining statutes by deciding prohibited practice and representation cases. The board also promulgates regulations and exercises other powers necessary to the administration of the collective bargaining statutes under its jurisdiction.
The agent and assistant agents hold informal investigation and mediation conferences with parties to a complaint or petition in an effort to resolve the labor relations dispute before a board hearing. If settlement is not possible the agent may recommend dismissal of a complaint or assign the matter for a hearing before the board. The agent and assistant agents conduct secret ballot elections to determine the desire of employees for collective bargaining representation.
The general counsel is the legal advisor to the board and staff and represents the board in court appeals, enforcement proceedings and other judicial and administrative proceedings to which the board is a party or is interested.
