The applicant union sought certification for a bargaining unit of full-time Heritage Language Instructors employed by the respondent school board.
The Board determined that a unit limited to Heritage Language Instructors was not appropriate, finding that all instructors employed by the board shared a community of interest and should be included in a single unit.
The Board also considered whether to exclude part-time instructors from the unit.
Departing from its traditional 24-hour rule for part-time employees, the Board concluded that instructors working 10 hours or less per week should be excluded from the bargaining unit.
