Community of Interest Decisions


The State Board of Mediation uses the community of interest guidelines used by the National Labor Relations Board. In making judgments about "community of interest" in different settings, the Board will look to the following factors.

  • Similarity in the scale and manner of determining earnings;
  • Similarity in employment benefits, hours of work, and other terms and conditions of employment;
  • Similarity in the kind of work performed;
  • Similarity in the qualifications, skills, and training of the employees;
  • Frequency of contact or interchange among the employees;
  • Geographic proximity;
  • Continuity or integration of production processes;
  • Common supervision and determination of labor-relations policy;
  • Relationship to the administrative organization of the employer;
  • History of collective bargaining;
  • Desires to the affected employees; and
  • Extent of union organization.
