| 2088S | California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (Edelen and Lewis) 806.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; DEFENSES; In General Argument that case was not ripe for review because employees did not request to withdraw from union membership until four months after expiration of contract is rejected. Continued union membership can only be required until 30 days prior to the expiration of the contract, and union was not free to refuse to honor requests to withdraw made after the expiration but prior to the effective date of a successor agreement. more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 33 | 12/31/09 |
| 1971M | City of Torrance 806.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; DEFENSES; In General Employer did not engage in conditional bargaining because it did not condition further bargaining on the union’s acceptance of its proposal that both parties withdraw their unfair practice charges. Further, the employer did not make its mutual withdrawal proposal until after the union had twice refused to bargain and therefore the alleged conditional bargaining could not excuse the refusal to bargain. more or view all topics or full text. | 32 | 126 | 08/21/08 |
| 1834E | Kern High Faculty Association, CTA/NEA (Maaskant) 806.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; DEFENSES; In General It is not a violation for a union to withhold information as long as there are notice and an opportunity to be heard before a collective bargaining agreement becomes final. A union violates its duty if it excludes non-members from voting only if the non-members are left completely uninformed about the status of negotiations or if they are not provided an opportunity to express their viewpoints. (Fontana Teachers Association (1984) PERB Decision No. 416.) A union may exclude non-members from voting as long as the union provides them with an opportunity to communicate their views. (El Centro Elementary Teachers Association (1982) PERB Decision No. 232.) Fee payer non-member who learned of ratification meeting through a friend cannot claim no notice of the meeting because he wasn’t officially notified. more or view all topics or full text. | 30 | 107 | 04/10/06 |
| 1638H | Regents of the University of California 806.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; DEFENSES; In General To determine whether a union has waived its right to engage in a sympathy strike, the Board uses the standard in Children’s Hospital Medical Center v.

| 1517H | Coalition of Unviersity Employees (Buxton) 806.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; DEFENSES; In General A union’s failure to inform an employee of its progress in processing her grievance, its failure to respond to the employer’s request for clarification of the grievance, and its failure to notify the employee of the employer’s ultimate response approaches but does not meet the standard for arbitrariness under state and federal precedent. CUE reasonably understood that arbitration was not available under the expired Collective Bargaining Agreement and is not evidence of breach of the duty of fair representation. more or view all topics or full text. | 27 | 51 | 04/07/03 |
