The most likely composition of the bargaining unit(s) will be to have three separate units for teachers, clerical employees, and blue collar employees. This is because each group has distinct job duties and qualifications that differentiate them from each other. Combining them into one unit would make it difficult to negotiate a contract that meets the unique needs of each group. Additionally, having separate units allows each group to have their own bargaining team, which can focus specifically on their group's needs and interests.
