Text: First, the employer asks us to consider the intermediate supervisors employed in the department of adult probation from the bargaining unit. These employees include Diane Nelson, Mary Parilli, Mildred Baez, Kay Daly, Yolanda DeSanto, Carol Throw and Irene Violente, who are, in turn, supervised by clerical manager Dawn Annefeld. Edward Janega and Brenda Sharp, supervised by clerical manager Marcelino Gurera, are additional intermediate supervisors. The hearing officer found that all the intermediate supervisors perform essentially the same work. We begin our analysis by reviewing and summarizing the findings of the hearing officer as to whether any of these employees assume any of the 11 supervisory functions while exercising independent judgment.
