Can an unrepresented position be added to a bargaining unit?
Yes. A petition for unit clarification or unit placement can be filed in accordance with Section 201.5(e) of the Rules of Procedure. A unit placement petition seeks to place an unrepresented position into an existing unit by applying the Act’s uniting criteria. A unit clarification petition seeks a finding that a position is already included within a unit. No showing of interest need be filed with the petition.
