The Representation and Improper Practice Unit of the Public Employment Relations Board reviews petitions from public employee organizations and employers concerning the creation of new negotiating units and recognition of employee bargaining agents, approves the transfer of members between existing units, and designates management/confidential positions. The unit issues decisions on improper labor practice charges and declaratory rulings clarifying whether certain matters are subject to collective negotiations. The unit also conducts hearings to determine if work stoppages are illegal strikes.

Files in this series, which have "U" case numbers, document complaints and decisions in improper practice cases, including those relating to the Taylor Law. Cases handled by the New York City mini-PERB are not included. Files contain petitions, notices, briefs, affidavits, answers, exhibits, hearing transcripts, correspondence, work notes, decisions, and in certain cases withdrawal requests or appeal papers. Most cases involve union charges against management practices. The files contain far more information about charges and responses than is found in published decisions. Cases are tracked through docket books that are scheduled for transfer to, but not yet in the possession of the State Archives.

Series 16228 Improper Practice Charges and Legal Suits (Litigated) contains related records generated by the Governor's Office of Employee Relations (GOER).
