DEPUTY GENERAL COUNSEL PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION

PERC decides the disputes between New Jersey's public employers and the unions representing their staff: unfair practice charges, whether a subject is negotiable at all, and who belongs in a bargaining unit. Its legal office litigates those cases and defends the agency when its decisions are appealed.

The deputy general counsel is appointed within the agency from the New Jersey bar. Attorney posts of this kind are unclassified, so there is no examination and no published specification.
