Mission
The Public Employment Relations Board resolves labor disputes between public employers and employees. The Board provides mediation, fact-finding and arbitration in contract disputes for approximately 4,760 negotiating units in New York State. In addition, the Board settles questions of union representation, conducts hearings on charges of improper practices, designates Management/Confidential positions, and acts as a clearinghouse for information on wages, benefits and employment practices.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $4.3 million All Funds ($4 million General Fund, $0.3 million Other Funds) for the Public Employment Relations Board. This is an increase of $0.2 million General Fund from the 2007-08 budget. This net change primarily reflects growth for inflation and normal personal service increases, offset by a reduction for management efficiencies.
The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 37 FTEs for the Public Employment Relations Board, which is unchanged from 2007-08.
