INTRODUCTION
The 	Higher 	Education Employer-Employee 	Relations 	Act
(hereafter 	HEERA or 	Act)l became effective July 1, 	1979, 	as a
result 	of 	legislation 	enacted 	by 	the California Legislature 	in
1978. 	The 	legislation 	granted 	jurisdiction over 	the HEERA 	to
*Chairperson Gluck 	did 	not 	participate 	in 	this 	Decision.
1The 	HEERA 	is 	codified 	at 	Government 	Code 	section 	3560

the 	Public 	Employment 	Relations 	Board 	(hereafter 	PERB 	or
Board). 	Its 	terms 	extend 	the opportunity for 	collective
negotiations 	to, 	amongst others, 	employees of 	the University of
California 	(UC or 	University) 	and 	their 	designated
representatives.2 As 	an 	initial 	step 	in 	the 	representational
process, 	PERB has 	authority 	to determine 	the 	appropriate 	units
for 	employees 	of 	UC.3
Pursuant 	to 	rules 	and 	regulations 	adopted 	by 	the 	Board,4
various 	employee 	organizations 	filed 	petitions 	with 	the 	Board
describing 	the 	units 	they 	believed 	to 	be 	appropriate. 	Parties
to 	the 	instant case 	then participated 	in 	the 	unit 	determination
hearing 	conducted 	by 	a 	PERB 	hearing 	officer 	who 	thereafter
transmitted 	the 	entire 	record 	along 	with 	his 	unit
recommendations 	to 	the Board 	itself 	for 	decision.
Based 	on 	the 	evidence 	and 	the 	briefs 	submitted 	by 	the
parties 	as well as 	the hearing officer's 	recommendations, 	the
Board 	has 	determined 	that 	the 	following 	units 	are 	appropriate:
2In addition 	to 	providing 	exclusive 	representation 	of
employees 	in 	appropriate 	units by employee organizations, 	HEERA
also makes 	it unlawful 	for 	the 	employer 	or 	the 	employee
organization 	to commit certain acts, 	requires 	the 	employer 	and
the 	exclusive 	representative 	to meet 	and 	confer 	in good 	faith
and 	endeavor 	to 	reach 	an 	agreement on matters 	within 	the 	scope
of 	representation.

The 	specific 	unit 	composition of 	these 	units 	is discussed
infra 	in Parts 	III and 	IV of 	this Decision. 	The 	issue of
exclusion 	of 	particular 	classifications 	based 	on 	supervisory,
managerial, 	or 	confidential 	status will be dealt with 	in a
separate 	decision.5
II.
UNIT 	CRITERIA
The 	Legislature 	mandated 	that 	the Board 	consider 	various
criteria 	in 	determining 	an 	appropriate 	unit of 	employees 	for
purposes 	of 	meeting 	and 	conferring 	under 	provisions 	of 	the
HEERA. 	Those 	criteria are 	set 	forth 	in 	section 	3579 	of 	the Act
which, 	in pertinent part, provides:
(a) 	In each case where 	the 	appropriateness
of a unit 	is an 	issue, 	in determining an
appropriate unit, 	the board 	shall 	take 	into
consideration 	all 	of 	the 	following 	criteria:
(1) 	The 	internal and occupational
community 	of 	interest 	among 	the
employees, 	including, 	but not limited
to, 	the extent 	to which 	they perform
functionally 	related 	services 	or 	work
toward established 	common goals, 	the
history 	of 	employee 	representation 	with

the 	employer, 	the 	extent 	to which 	such
employees 	belong 	to 	the 	same 	employee
organization, 	the 	extent 	to which 	the
employees 	have 	common 	skills, 	working
conditions, 	job duties, 	or similar
educational 	or 	training 	requirements,
and 	the 	extent 	to 	which 	the 	employees
have 	common 	supervision.
(2) 	The 	effect 	that 	the 	projected 	unit
will 	have 	on 	the 	meet 	and 	confer
relationships, 	emphasizing 	the
availability 	and 	authority 	of 	employer
representatives 	to 	deal 	effectively
with 	employee 	organizations
representing 	the 	unit, 	and 	taking 	into
account 	such 	factors 	as 	work 	location,
the 	numerical 	size 	of 	the 	unit, 	the
relationship 	of 	the 	unit 	to
organizational 	patterns 	of 	the 	higher
education 	employer, 	and 	the 	effect 	on
the 	existing 	classification 	structure
or 	existing 	classification 	schematic 	of
dividing 	a 	single 	class 	or 	single
classification 	schematic 	among 	two 	or
more 	units.
(3) 	The 	effect 	of 	the 	proposed 	unit 	on
efficient 	operations 	of 	the 	employer
and 	the 	compatibility 	of 	the 	unit 	with
the 	responsibility 	of 	the 	higher
education 	employer 	and 	its 	employees 	to
serve 	students 	and 	the 	public.
(4) 	The 	number 	of employees 	and
classifications 	in 	a proposed 	unit, 	and
its 	effect 	on 	the 	operations 	of 	the
employer, 	on 	the 	objectives 	of
providing 	the 	employees 	the 	right 	to
effective 	representation, 	and on 	the
meet 	and 	confer 	relationship.
(5) 	The 	impact on 	the 	meet 	and 	confer
relationship 	created 	by 	fragmentation
of 	employee 	groups 	or 	any 	proliferation
of 	units 	among 	the 	employees 	of 	the
employer.

(b) 	There 	shall 	be 	a presumption 	that
professional 	employees 	and 	nonprofessional
employees 	shall 	not 	be 	included 	in 	the 	same
representation unit. 	However, 	the
presumption 	shall be 	rebuttable, 	depending
upon what 	the 	evidence pertinent 	to 	the
criteria 	set 	forth 	in 	subdivision 	(a)
establishes.
(c) 	There 	shall be 	a presumption 	that 	all
employees 	within 	an 	occupational 	group 	or
groups 	shall 	be 	included 	within 	a 	single
representation unit. 	However, 	the
presumption shall 	be 	rebutted 	if 	there 	is 	a
preponderance 	of 	evidence 	that 	a 	single
representation 	unit 	is 	inconsistent with 	the
criteria 	set 	forth 	in 	subdivision 	(a) 	or 	the
purposes 	of 	this 	chapter.
(d) 	Notwithstanding 	the 	foregoing
provisions of 	this 	section, 	or 	any other
provision 	of 	law, 	an 	appropriate group of
skilled 	crafts 	employees 	shall 	have 	the
right 	to be a single, 	separate 	unit of
representation. 	Skilled 	crafts 	employees
shall 	include, 	but 	not 	necessarily be
limited 	to, 	employment categories 	such 	as
carpenters, plumbers, electricians,
painters, 	and operating engineers. 	The
single 	unit of 	representation 	shall 	include
not 	less 	than 	all 	skilled 	crafts 	employees
at 	a campus 	or 	at 	a Lawrence 	Laboratory.
(f) 	The 	board 	shall 	not determine 	that any
unit is appropriate 	if 	it 	includes, 	together
with other 	employees, 	employees 	who are
defined 	as 	peace 	officers 	pursuant 	to
subdivisions 	(d) 	and 	(e) 	of Section 830.2 of
the Penal Code.
In 	structuring 	units 	of UC 	employees, 	we 	have 	examined 	the
evidence 	in 	light 	of 	the 	statutory 	directive 	of 	section 	3579,
and 	have 	sought 	to place 	employees 	with 	an 	internal
occupational 	community 	of 	interest 	in 	an 	appropriate 	unit. 	We
• 	• 	• 	• 	• 	• 	• 	•
5

have 	considered 	the 	effect various 	unit 	configurations 	would
have 	on the 	meet 	and 	confer 	relationships 	in 	terms 	of 	both 	the
employer's 	interest 	in 	efficient operation of 	the 	educational
system and 	in terms of 	the employees' 	interest 	in effective
representation. 	As 	we 	originally 	stressed 	in 	the 	State
employee 	unit 	determination decision 	and 	reiterated 	in 	the
California 	State 	University 	and 	Colleges 	unit 	determination
decision:6
. 	. 	. 	unit determination criteria cannot be
reviewed 	in 	isolation 	from one 	another;
indeed, 	there 	is 	substantial 	interplay among
the various criteria. 	Therefore, 	all of 	the
factors 	involved 	in 	a given 	situation must
be 	balanced 	against 	one another. 	The 	result
of 	any 	such 	balancing process 	is 	that 	in 	a
particular 	factual 	setting 	some 	criteria 	are
emphasized over 	others while 	in 	a different
setting 	the weight given 	the 	same 	criteria
may 	be 	altered.
Consistent with 	our 	decision 	in Joint Hearing 	Order
(7/16/80): 	HEERA-UC Unit Determination Phase II, Professional
and Operations Hearings 	(9/29/80) 	PERB Order No. Ad-101-H, 	in
determining 	whether 	to 	grant 	or 	reject 	the 	petitions 	of 	the
parties, 	the Board has considered 	both 	the parties' 	formal
requests 	and 	modifications 	of 	those 	positions 	as 	indicated 	by
their 	briefs.

III.
UNITS 	GRANTED
The Board 	finds 	that 	the 	creation of 	the 	following 	three
technical units 	at 	the University 	of 	California 	is
appropriate: 	a 	Lawrence 	Livermore 	National Laboratory 	(LLNL)
Technical Unit, 	a Systemwide Technical Unit, 	and a Patient Care
and 	Technical Unit. 	Employees 	in 	all of 	these 	units 	share 	an
internal 	community 	of 	interest 	which 	distinguishes 	them 	from
other 	categories of operations employees, 	such 	as clerical or
service 	employees.
The University's 	technical employees 	are 	nonprofessional
employees 	whose work 	involves 	the 	use 	of 	independent 	judgment
and 	the 	exercise 	of 	specialized 	skills, 	often 	gained 	through
advanced 	education 	or 	training. 	Technical 	employees 	are 	very
often 	licensed, 	certified, 	or 	registered as a requirement of
employment. 	As 	the Board 	indicated 	in Marin Community College
District 	(6/26/78) 	PERB Decision No. 	55, 	at p. 	8:
Performance 	in 	[technical] 	positions 	entails
considerable 	responsibility 	and 	involves 	the
performance 	of 	relatively 	complex
assignments, 	. . . 	as contrasted 	to
performance 	of 	the 	more 	routine 	paperwork
and 	bookkeeping 	tasks 	performed 	by clerical
employees.
The National Labor 	Relations Board 	(NLRB) 	has 	long 	found
that 	separate 	units of 	technical 	employees 	are 	appropriate,
since 	technical 	employees 	enjoy 	a 	"separate 	and 	distinct
community of 	interest 	. 	. 	. 	flowing from training, 	skills,

LLNL Technical Unit
The California 	State Employees' 	Association 	(CSEA)
petitioned 	for 	a 	unit 	of 	all 	technical 	employees 	at LLNL. 	We
find 	the petitioned-for 	unit 	appropriate. 	Employees 	at 	LLNL
have 	a 	community 	of 	interest 	sufficiently 	distinct 	from
employees 	at 	the 	rest 	of 	the University 	to warrant granting
them a 	separate 	unit. 	Every 	party 	addressing 	this 	issue 	has
agreed 	that 	employees 	at 	LLNL 	should 	be 	granted 	separate
units.7
Unlike 	the rest of 	the campuses, 	LLNL 	is 	almost 	entirely
federally funded. 	It 	is governed 	based 	upon 	the provisions 	of
a contract 	between 	the 	University and 	the 	Department of 	Energy
(DOE). 	This 	agreement 	substantially affects 	the personnel
policies of LLNL, 	requiring 	the University 	to obtain DOE
approval 	for 	many policy changes. 	Planning 	at LLNL, 	unlike 	the
rest of 	the University, 	requires 	coordination with DOE and 	is
7 In granting 	CSEA's petition 	for 	a Technical Unit 	at
LLNL, 	we deny 	the petition of Teamsters, 	Local 70 	for 	a unit
composed 	of 	firefighters 	and 	associated 	personnel 	at 	LLNL.
Teamsters, 	Local 	70 has presented 	insufficient 	evidence 	that
firefighters 	at 	LLNL 	share 	a 	sufficiently distinct 	community of
interest 	to 	justify granting 	them a 	separate 	unit 	apart 	from
other 	technical employees 	at LLNL.

accomplished 	separately 	from 	the 	University's 	systemwide
planning process. 	Most 	significantly, 	because of LLNL's
federal 	funding, 	it 	is 	not 	subject to 	the 	state budget process.
Employees 	at 	Lawrence 	Livermore 	are 	also distinguished 	from
employees 	at 	the 	rest 	of 	the University 	by 	the 	unique 	nature 	of
the work 	they 	do. 	The primary activity of 	LLNL 	is 	nuclear
weapons 	research. 	No similar 	research 	is 	carried on at 	the
University's other 	facilities, 	including 	the Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory 	(LBL).
Employees 	at LLNL must obtain, 	as a condition of
employment, 	a DOE 	"Q-clearance," 	the highest 	security
clearance. 	In order 	to obtain a Q-clearance, 	the applicant's
background 	is 	investigated 	by 	the 	FBI 	or 	the 	Federal 	Civil
Service Commission. 	This process 	takes 	approximately 	four 	to
eight months. 	In addition, 	all LLNL employees 	receive a
security manual.
Finally, 	LLNL has 	an employment classification 	scheme
separate 	from 	the 	rest 	of 	the University. 	While 	these
classifications 	are 	parallel 	to 	systemwide 	classifications,
they 	too are 	subject 	to DOE approval. 	Moreover, 	some of 	the
classifications are 	unique 	to LLNL.
Taken 	together, 	this 	evidence 	establishes a 	strong
community of 	interest 	amongst LLNL technical employees, 	which
differentiates 	them 	from other 	University 	employees.

Systemwide 	Technical 	Unit
The American Federation 	of 	State, 	County 	and Municipal
Employees 	(AFSCME) 	and 	the California State Employees'
Associations 	petitioned 	for 	a 	systemwide 	unit 	of 	technical
employees 	at 	the University's 	nine 	campuses 	and 	the Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory. 	We grant 	these petitions, 	absent 	those
classifications 	which we 	have 	placed 	in 	our 	patient 	care 	and
technical unit, 	discussed 	infra.
We 	find 	that 	technical 	employees 	throughout 	the University
system 	(excluding 	LLNL 	and 	the UC 	health 	facilities) 	share 	a
sufficient 	community of 	interest 	that 	a 	systemwide 	unit 	is
appropriate. 	University employees 	placed 	within 	this 	unit 	are
governed 	by a 	centralized 	personnel policy, 	classification
scheme, 	and 	wage 	and 	benefits 	plan. 	They 	are 	involved 	in the
University's 	basic 	teaching 	and 	research 	mission. 	Employees
may readily transfer 	between 	campuses. 	Moreover, 	they are
bound 	by a 	common legislative 	budget process, 	which 	allocates
wage 	increases 	to University employees 	on 	a 	systemwide 	basis.
For 	these 	reasons, 	we 	find 	that 	a systemwide 	technical 	unit
will 	facilitate 	the 	collective 	negotiation process 	as well 	as
promote 	the 	efficient operations of 	the University. 	A
systemwide unit, 	by definition, 	avoids fragmentation of
employee 	groups 	and 	unnecessary 	proliferation of 	units.
8
CSEA 	petitioned 	for 	a 	systemwide 	technical 	unit
excluding LBL 	and LLNL. 	Since 	we 	are 	including LBL 	in 	the
systemwide 	technical 	unit, 	we 	are 	able 	to grant both AFSCME's
and CSEA's 	petitions.
10

We 	include 	the Lawrence Berkeley 	Laboratory within 	the
systemwide 	technical unit, 	despite 	the 	fact that 	it 	is 	subject
to 	the 	same 	system of 	federal 	funding 	as LLNL 	(see 	discussion
supra). 	However, 	unlike LLNL employees, 	LBL employees share a
greater 	community 	of 	interest 	with other 	employees 	of 	the
University. 	LBL 	is geographically contiguous 	with 	the Berkeley
campus, 	and 	employees 	of both LBL and UCB are 	drawn 	from 	the
same 	regional 	labor market. 	Employees 	from UCB 	and 	LBL can
readily 	transfer 	between 	the 	two sites, 	and 	some 	employees work
part-time at both 	facilities. 	Unlike LLNL employees, 	LBL
employees do not work on military 	research projects, 	and 	thus
do not 	require 	a 	security 	"Q" 	clearance.
Despite 	the 	fact 	that 	the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory 	is
federally 	funded 	through 	a contract with DOE, 	job
classifications 	at LBL 	follow 	the 	University's 	centralized
system 	rather 	than an 	independent 	system, 	as 	is 	in 	use 	at
LLNL. 	In addition, 	wage 	rates at LBL do not 	require DOE
approval, 	as 	is the case at LLNL.
Patient Care Technical 	Unit
United Health Care 	Employees 	(SEIU Locals 	102, 	250 	and 	434)
petitioned 	for 	a 	systemwide 	unit 	composed of 	technical
employees 	at 	the University's 	health 	care 	facilities 	as well 	as
allied 	patient care 	service 	and 	clerical 	employees. 	We 	grant
this petition, 	finding 	that 	the employees 	within 	this 	unit
11

share 	a 	strong 	community 	of 	interest which 	warrants 	the
creation of 	a 	separate 	patient care 	unit.
Employees 	in 	this 	unit are 	primarily 	technicians 	involved
in providing 	health 	services 	to patients 	at 	the University's
medical centers, 	student health facilities, 	and hospitals.
These 	employees 	are 	directly concerned 	with 	the 	delivery 	of
health care 	services, 	and 	thus 	perform 	tasks 	not directly
related 	to 	the University's 	basic educational mission. 	Hence,
these 	employees 	share 	an 	internal 	community 	of 	interest which
separates 	them 	from 	technical employees 	in other 	units 	we 	have
created. 	In addition, 	we 	include 	in 	the patient care
technical 	unit 	those 	classifications 	of 	hospital clerical 	and
service 	employees 	who 	have 	direct 	contact with 	patients 	and
work closely with, 	or 	are 	under 	the supervision of, 	patient
care 	technical or 	professional 	employees.
Patient care 	employees 	work 	exclusively 	in 	hospitals 	or
clinics. 	There 	is 	no work-related 	contact 	between 	these
employees 	and 	employees 	in similar 	classifications 	at
nonpatient work 	sites. 	They 	are 	subject 	to working 	conditions
which distinguish 	them from other 	UC technical, 	service, 	or
clerical 	employees. 	They work 	closely with health 	care
professionals, 	delivering 	primary patient services. 	Many of
these 	classifications 	are 	staffed 	round-the-clock 	and 	are
routinely exposed 	to medical emergencies. 	They 	are 	required 	to
have 	specialized 	knowledge 	and 	training 	peculiar 	to 	the
12

hospital 	setting, 	and 	to apply 	that 	knowledge 	in direct or
indirect patient care 	contexts.
Another 	factor 	which persuades 	us 	to 	establish 	a 	separate
patient care and 	technical 	unit 	is 	the 	administrative 	autonomy
of 	the University medical 	facilities. 	The University's
hospitals 	and 	student 	health 	centers 	are 	financed 	primarily
through patient 	and 	student 	fees 	and 	government funds.
Although 	they 	are 	ultimately 	under 	the 	control 	of 	systemwide
administration, 	the evidence 	establishes 	that 	they are 	run
relatively 	independently. 	For 	example, 	university hospitals
develop personnel policies 	and 	procedures 	independent 	of 	those
developed 	systemwide. 	Such 	policies 	and procedures 	are 	suited
to 	the delivery of patient care 	services 	to 	the public 	rather
than 	the 	teaching 	of 	students 	or 	the 	development 	of 	research
projects.
The creation of 	a 	separate patient care 	technical 	unit 	is
consistent 	with 	the 	University's present 	organizational
structure, 	which 	separates 	hospital classifications 	from other
technical classifications 	systemwide. 	Thus, 	the patient care
technical unit we 	are 	establishing 	will 	promote 	the efficient
operation of 	the University's hospitals, 	clinics, 	and medical
centers without disrupting 	in 	any 	way 	the University's 	existing
classification 	structure. 	While not determinative, 	both NLRB
and 	previous 	Board 	decisions 	support 	the 	establishment 	of
separate 	patient care 	units. 	(Barnert Memorial Hospital,
13

supra, 	Unit Determination 	for 	the 	State of California 	(11/7/79)
PERB Decision No. 	110-S.)
Taken as 	a whole, 	the above 	evidence convinces 	us 	that 	a
separate 	patient care 	and 	technical 	unit 	is consistent with 	the

DISPUTED 	CLASSIFICATIONS
LLNL 	Technical 	Unit
Machinists 	(900 	Series)
We 	find 	it 	appropriate 	to place 	employees 	in 	the machinist
classifications 	at 	Lawrence 	Livermore 	in 	the LLNL 	technical
unit. 	CSEA petitioned 	for 	the placement of 	these 	employees 	in
the LLNL 	technical 	unit, 	and 	the University 	supports 	their
placement 	there.9
Employees 	in 	the machinist 	classifications 	at 	LLNL work 	in
the 	materials 	fabrication division of 	the 	Laboratory, 	which
performs machine 	fabrication work 	for 	scientific 	research
projects. 	These 	employees work 	directly with, 	and 	under 	the
supervision of, 	Laboratory scientific personnel. 	They perform
no 	routine 	or 	nonscientific machine work. 	Although 	employees
9The 	Alameda 	County 	Building 	and 	Construction 	Trades
Council 	petitioned 	for 	the 	inclusion of 	employees 	in 	the LLNL
machinist 	classifications 	in 	their 	proposed 	LLNL 	skilled 	crafts
unit. 	We 	have 	determined 	that 	it 	is 	inappropriate 	to place
these 	employees 	in a skilled 	crafts 	unit. 	Unit Determination

in 	the 	900 	series complete 	a 	state-certified 	apprenticeship
program and 	thus 	achieve 	journeyperson 	status, 	they 	are 	given
extensive on-the-job 	training 	in which 	they 	acquire 	scientific
and 	technical knowledge of metallurgy, 	metrology, 	design and
vacuum processes. 	With 	this 	knowledge, 	materials 	fabrication
division machinists 	are 	capable 	of 	designing 	or 	modifying
machinery 	to 	fit 	special 	scientific 	requirements. 	Thus,
despite 	the 	fact 	that 	these 	employees possess 	training 	similar
to 	that 	of 	skilled 	crafts 	employees 	in 	the private 	sector,
their 	advanced 	technical 	knowledge 	and 	the 	highly 	specialized
nature 	of 	the 	work 	they perform convince 	us 	that 	they are 	more
appropriately placed 	in 	a 	technical 	unit.
Technicians 	(727 	series)
CSEA petitioned 	for, 	and 	the University supports, 	the
inclusion of 	employees 	in 	the 	technician classifications 	at
LLNL 	in 	the LLNL 	technical unit. 	The Alameda County Building
and Construction 	Trades Council argues 	that certain 	employees
in 	this 	classification who perform metal plating 	work 	should 	be
included 	in 	the 	skilled 	crafts 	unit.10

required, 	as a condition of 	employment, 	to have at 	least an
associate degree 	in a 	scientific or 	technical 	subject. 	They
share 	a close 	community 	of 	interest with other 	technical
employees. 	We 	find, 	in reviewing 	the record, 	that 	there 	has
been 	insufficient 	evidence presented 	to 	rebut 	the 	presumption
contained 	in 	subsection 	3579(c) 	against 	the splitting 	of
occupational 	groups. 	We 	thus 	find 	that 	those 	employees within
the 	technician series 	who perform metal plating 	work, 	along
with all other 	employees 	in 	that 	series, 	are 	appropriately
placed 	in 	the LLNL 	technical unit.
Systemwide 	Technical Unit
LBL Machinists 	(785.0-787.3)
AFSCME petitioned 	for,11 and 	the University 	supports, 	the
inclusion of 	employees 	in 	the LBL machinists 	series 	in 	the
systemwide 	technical unit. 	For 	the 	reasons 	discussed 	above
with 	regard 	to 	the LLNL machinists, 	we 	find 	that LBL machinists
are 	appropriately placed 	in 	the 	systemwide 	technical 	unit.
Patient Care 	Technical 	Unit
Development 	Technician 	(1707-74)
Electronics 	Technician 	(8301-8304)

11In its 	petition 	requesting 	a 	systemwide 	unit 	composed
of 	all 	technical 	employees 	in 	the University, 	AFSCME did 	not
specifically 	list 	LBL classifications. 	Since 	it petitioned 	for
a unit 	of all 	technical 	employees, 	we assume 	this 	omission 	to
have 	been 	inadvertent.

-------

the University's health care 	facilities, 	in the patient care
technical unit. 	This placement requires 	us 	to 	split
classifications, 	but we 	find 	that 	evidence 	rebuts 	the
presumption set forth 	in subsection 	3579 (c) 	against 	the
splitting 	of 	occupational 	groups.
All 	of 	the employees 	in 	the 	above 	classifications work 	at
the University's 	patient care 	facilities. 	They are 	involved 	in
the 	fabrication, 	maintenance and 	repair 	of medical
instruments. 	They 	interact with, 	and are often 	under 	the
supervision of, 	other patient care 	technical employees 	or
health 	care 	professionals. 	They have 	no 	interaction with
employees 	in 	their 	own 	classification who work 	at 	nonpatient
care 	facilities. 	Many 	incumbents 	enter 	patient 	and operating
rooms 	to observe 	and monitor 	equipment, 	and have 	specialized
knowledge 	related 	to 	the 	development 	and maintenance 	of 	medical
equipment. 	On the basis of 	this evidence, 	we 	find 	that
employees 	in 	these 	classifications 	at 	the University's 	patient
care 	facilities 	have 	a 	sufficiently 	independent community of
interest 	to 	rebut 	the presumption 	set 	forth 	in 	subsection
3597(c). 	We note, 	in so finding, 	that the University has
presented 	no 	evidence 	to 	indicate 	that 	the placing 	of 	these
employees 	in 	the patient care 	technical unit will 	adversely
affect 	the 	efficient operations 	of 	its health care 	facilities.
On the contrary, 	the evidence 	indicates 	that 	the 	inclusion of
these 	employees 	in 	the 	patient care 	technical 	unit will
17

facilitate 	effective 	collective 	bargaining 	and 	the 	efficient
delivery of patient care 	services.
Hospital 	Laboratory 	Technicians 	(8973-8976)
SEIU petitioned 	for, 	and we 	find appropriate, 	the placement
of 	employees 	in 	the 	above classifications 	in 	the 	patient care
technical 	unit. 	The University 	argues 	that 	they 	should 	be
excluded 	from 	the 	technical 	unit 	because 	they 	are 	professional
employees.
Hospital 	laboratory 	technicians 	(HLT's) 	work 	in 	the
University's health care 	facilities, 	where 	they administer 	and
analyze 	test 	results 	intended 	to 	assist 	in 	the 	diagnosis 	and
treatment of 	patient 	illnesses. 	A college degree with a
science major, 	or equivalent education or 	experience, 	is
required 	for 	the 	entry 	level 	classification.
Prior 	to 	1966, 	the HLT 	series 	included 	several categories
of 	employees. 	In 	1966, 	the clinical laboratory technologist
(CLT) 	series was 	split off from the HLT series. 	In 1972, 	the
staff 	research 	associate 	classification was 	split 	off 	from 	the
HLT 	series. 	All parties 	agree 	that 	employees 	in the CLT 	series
are 	professionals 	since 	they have 	separate 	licensing
requirements, 	pay 	scales 	and 	duties. 	The University argues
that, 	because 	employees 	in 	the present HLT 	series 	share 	a
common origin with 	these other 	classifications, 	they are 	not
technical employees.
18

The 	majority 	of 	employees 	in 	this 	series 	perform 	routine
laboratory 	work, 	involving 	little or 	no 	independent 	judgment.
Hospital laboratory 	technicians, 	unlike clinical 	laboratory
technologists, 	are 	by 	law not permitted 	to perform 	tests
requiring 	professional 	judgment. 	There 	was evidence 	introduced
that 	a minority 	of 	employees 	in this 	classification 	do some
work 	involving 	independent 	analysis 	of 	test 	results. 	For
example, 	at the UC Davis Medical Center, 	HLT's in the
cytopathology 	laboratory 	review 	slides 	to 	check 	for 	normal
cells. 	Although 	these HLT's 	initially use 	independent 	judgment
in making their determinations, 	a doctor, 	pathologist, 	or
clinical 	laboratory 	technologist 	must 	review slides 	found 	to 	be
abnormal 	and makes 	a diagnosis 	based 	upon 	that 	review.
Similarly, 	at 	the UCLA pulmonary 	function 	laboratory, 	HLT's
administer 	blood 	function 	and 	lung 	gas 	tests. 	Although 	these
tests 	require 	employees 	to 	draw blood 	from patients 	and 	attach
monitors 	to 	them, 	the 	results 	of 	the 	tests are analyzed by 	a
computer 	and 	do not 	require 	independent 	analysis 	by 	the
employee. 	Hence, 	even when performing 	these more complicated
functions, 	employees 	in the HLT series do not exercise 	the
degree 	of 	independent 	judgment 	usually 	found 	amongst
professional employees.
Thus, 	viewing 	the evidence 	in 	its 	totality, 	we 	find HLT's
are 	appropriately placed 	in 	the 	patient care 	technical 	unit.

SEIU petitioned 	for 	these 	employees 	to 	be 	included 	in 	the
patient 	care 	technical 	unit. 	We 	decline 	to place 	these
employees 	in 	the 	unit 	since 	there 	is 	insufficient 	evidence 	in
the 	record 	to 	indicate 	what 	the 	job 	duties 	of 	these 	employees
are.

SEIU petitioned 	for 	employees 	in 	the 	above 	classification
to 	be 	included 	in 	the 	patient 	care 	technical 	unit. 	We 	decline
to place 	these 	employees 	in the 	unit, 	as 	there 	is 	insufficient
evidence 	in 	the 	record 	to 	indicate 	that 	they 	share 	a 	community
of 	interest 	with 	health 	care 	employees.
