Collective Bargaining

During the 2001 legislative session, the General Assembly enacted legislation which expanded "the scope of certain provisions of law governing collective bargaining to include certain employees of certain State institutions of higher education", including Morgan State University. The legislation requires the Board of Regents to adopt regulations which define the terms "supervisory", "managerial" and "confidential" as used in the collective bargaining legislation. The Board hereby authorizes the President to develop and implement the regulations and to submit the regulations to the Board.

Collective Bargaining Definitions

Managerial

Supervisory
A supervisory employee is someone who has the authority to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, demote, discharge, assign, evaluate, counsel, provide tangible employment-related benefits or detriments, to another employee or employees, or to adjust their grievances, or effectively to recommend that any of the aforesaid actions take place; so long as the exercise of that authority is not merely routine or clerical in nature, but requires the use of independent judgment or discretion on the part of the individual.
