Are all public employees in a bargaining unit?
No. For purposes of collective bargaining, the Ohio Revised Code distinguishes public employees who may be represented by an employee organization from public employees who are “exempt” from collective bargaining. Division (C) of Section 4117.01 defines public employees who have collective bargaining rights. For a more thorough explanation, please refer to the Bargaining Unit Exemptions document in the Reference section of this Web site.
