UNIT REPRESENTATION & EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS
The Michigan Civil Service Commission has
established an Employee-Employer Relations Rule which creates a system of collective
bargaining for determining conditions of employment including compensation for state
classified employees. Upon election of an exclusive representative, all conditions of
employment for unit employees are established through negotiations between the Office of
the State Employer, as the Governor's representative, and the exclusive
representative.
The Rule provides for the state personnel director to establish bargaining units of eligible employees in broad occupational groups with a community of interest. Currently there are 11 units eligible for collective bargaining; of these, 10 units comprising approximately 71% of the total state classified work force are represented by exclusive representatives. Employees in supervisory, managerial and confidential positions are ineligible for exclusive representation and collective bargaining.
The following chart provides a brief description of each unit, identifies the exclusive organization which represents employees in the unit, and
