OPINION OF THE COURT
ROBERTS, Justice.
In this appeal, we conclude that commissioners of Bucks County, a county of the third class, are the managerial representatives in proceedings under Act 195 involving court personnel of Bucks County and nothing in the record demonstrates an unconstitutional infringement upon the independence of the judiciary. Act of June 29, 1976, P.L. 460, § 1, amending Act of August 9, 1955, P.L. 323, § 1620, 16 P.S. § 1620 (1956 and Supp.1977); Ellenbogen v. County of Allegheny, 479 Pa. 429, 388 A.2d 730 (1978); Sweet v. Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, 479 Pa. 449, 388 A.2d 740 (1978) (Sweet II).
Accordingly, the order of the Commonwealth Court is vacated and the case is remanded to the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
