DECISION 9983 (PECB)

Issue 1: Whether the police captains are confidential employees within the meaning of Chapter 41.56 RCW and therefore excluded from a supervisory bargaining unit?

Based upon the record, the applicable statutes, rules, and case precedent, the Executive Director rules that the position of police captain is confidential, and therefore the three police captains are properly excluded from the bargaining unit because they formulate labor policy, prepare for or conduct collective bargaining, and administer collective bargaining agreements.
