Mission
The Public Employment Relations Board was created by the Public Employees’ Fair Employment Act of 1967 and 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, makes determinations regarding applications for injunctive relief and acts as a clearinghouse for information on wages, benefits and employment practices.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $4.7 million All Funds ($4.1 million General Fund; $0.6 million Other Funds) for the Public Employment Relations Board. This is an increase of $215,000 (decrease of $96,000 General Fund; increase of $311,000 Other Funds) from the 2008 09 Budget. Within these amounts, the Public Employment Relations Board is expected to fully absorb the responsibilities of the State Employment Relations Board, at a savings of $1.7 million to the State.
The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 38 FTEs for the Public Employment Relations Board, an increase of 1 from 2008-09. This change reflects the impact of assuming the responsibilities of the State Employment Relations Board.
