Re: Civilian Review June 7, 2005 Page 10 good faith with the exclusive representative" of a labor organization. ORS 243.672(1)(e). As part of the obligation to bargain in good faith, public employers and labor organizations must bargain over matters concerning employment relations, also referred to as "mandatory subjects" of bargaining. ORS 243.656. Matters such as what personnel-related information will be shared with the CRB in an open meeting, and who may review investigatory information and outcomes, would likely be mandatory subjects of bargaining. The extent to which the investigation will involve the disclosure of personal information about the employee is most likely a mandatory subject of bargaining. Springfield Police Assoc. v. City of Springfield, 16 PECBR 712, 722 (1996). Proposals related to the contents and disclosure of personnel files are generally mandatory subjects of bargaining. Id. The time lines for the investigation will need to be bargained if the participation of the review board extends the length of the investigation. Oregon Public Employees Union v. State of Oregon, 14 PECBR 746, 769 (1993). In OPEU, the Employee Relations Board found that employees had a strong interest in either being charged or cleared in timely manner, while the employer had no interest in unreasonable delay in the investigative process.
