Public sector, higher education unit determination decisions are often made shortly after enabling legislation becomes law. Once created, units seldom undergo major revisions. Units have a lasting impact on the bargaining relationship, the nature and content of agreements, and the contract administration process. This article reviews the unit determination process being used by administrative agencies in the various states with public sector bargaining statutes. Administrative agencies usually follow precedents set by the NLRB unless specific statutory provisions otherwise control. Some agencies are charged with finding an appropriate unit. Others are required to find the appropriate unit, a more demanding task. Still others merely have to create units that have been defined by the legislature. Criteria used in the unit determination process is also reviewed.
公共部门中，高等教育单位的确定决定通常在授权立法成为法律后不久就做出。一旦设立，这些单位很少会经历重大修订。这些单位会对谈判关系、协议的性质和内容以及合同管理过程产生持久影响。本文回顾了各有公共部门谈判法规的州的行政机构所采用的单位确定过程。除非有特定的法定条款另有规定，行政机构通常遵循美国国家劳资关系委员会设定的先例。一些机构负责找到合适的单位。其他机构则被要求找到合适的单位，这是一项要求更高的任务。还有一些机构只需设立由立法机构定义的单位。本文还回顾了单位确定过程中使用的标准。
