Minnesota Statute 179A.07, Subd. 1 provides as follows: <br /> <br />"Subdivision 1. Inherent managerial policy. A public <br />employer is not required to meet and negotiate on <br />matters of inherent managerial policy. Matters of <br />inherent managerial policy include, but are not <br />limited to, such areas of discretion or policy as the <br />functions and programs of the employers, its overall <br />budget, utilization of technology, the organizational <br />structure, selection of personnel, and direction and <br />the number of personnel. No public employer shall <br />sign an agreement which limits its right to select <br />persons to serve as supervisory employees or state <br />managers under section 43A.18, subdivision 3, or <br />requires the use of seniority in their selection." <br /> <br />AWARD <br /> <br /> The Union's proposal is denied° <br /> <br />RATIONALE <br /> <br /> I agree with the City that the assignment and/or <br />establishment of the classification of detective/investigator <br />constitutes an inherent managerial right under 179Ao07, Subd. 1, <br />as constituting "organizational structure'' and the City is thus <br />not, under this section, obligated to meet and negotiate pertaining <br />to its establishment and therefore it is non-arbitrable under this <br />section of PELRA. <br /> <br /> This arbitrator would in effect be establishing a <br />classification or assignment beyond his authority and jurisdiction <br />under Section 179A.07, Subd. 1 of PELRA. <br /> <br /> The Union does however, under PELRA, have the right to <br />negotiate wage rates including differentials applicable to a <br />classification which was or is established by the Employer. <br /> <br />33 <br /> <br /> <br />
