Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Unions
ILRB granted union's majority interest petition to represent certain IDOT technical and engineering employees. ILRB erred in finding employees were not supervisors within meaning of Section 3(r) of the Act, as evidence indicated they performed supervisory actions, utilized independent judgment, and spend preponderance of time exercising supervisory authority, including assigning work and evaluating employee performance. (APPLETON and KNECHT, concurring.)
