1. The County Salary Board is not the public employer of court-related employes in a county within the meaning of the Public Employe Relations Act, Act 1970, July 23, P. L. 563.
Judge MENCER flied a dissenting opinion in which Judges CRUMLISH, JR. and KRAMER joined, which was substantially as follows:
1. Only in matters relating to collective bargaining with respect to wages may county governments be deemed to be the public employer of court-related employes and in all other respects the judicial district must be considered to be the public employer.
OPINION BY PRESIDENT JUDGE BOWMAN, March 5, 1974:
In this appeal, appellant, county controller asserts that the County Salary Board of which he is a member is the public employer of the employees of the county within the meaning of the Act.
For the reason set forth in our opinion handed down this day in Sweet v. Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, 12 Pa. Commw. 358, 316 A.2d 665 (1974), we believe this appeal to be without merit.
ORDER
NOW, March 5, 1974, the order of the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board from which the above appeal is taken is affirmed.
