Certification of Determination Order Issued September 6, 2013 

The Bureau certified two units within the City’s Public Works department as appropriate units. The Bureau found persuasive the fact that an appropriate unit consisting of the entire Public Works Department was certified in 1973 and the parties never reached a collective bargaining agreement. The Bureau took this as strong evidence that the bargaining unit proposed by the City was not an appropriate unit.

NOTE:  On September 17, 2012, the City of Bloomington requested reconsideration of the Certification Unit Determination Order.  On September 17, 2012, the Bureau issued a /bms/assets/Reconsideration-Order-Bloomington-Sept_tcm1075-242063.pdfRequest for Reconsideration Order.

On October 8, 2012, the Bureau issued a Ruling on Reconsideration finding that the Certification Unit Determination Order Issued on September 6, 2012, was properly issued.

On October 12, 2012, the City filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Minnesota Court of Appeals.

On July 15, 2013, the Minnesota Court of Appeals issued an Order affirming the Bureau's decision.
