Summary
In general, the Connecticut commission is hostile to expansive definitions of mandatory subjects of bargaining, sometimes issuing decisions that are results-driven and an expression of a preference for the substance of the employer’s decision. There are a couple of distinctions between police and other units:
- The Commission is more likely to weigh safety on the side of bargaining for police than others.
- The Commission treats the requirement to bargain surveillance-based decision more expansively for non-police units than police-units.
The Commission is more likely to find subcontracting of police work to an outside agency to be a mandatory subject of bargaining.
