Decision 2999M – County of San Diego
LA-CE-1778-M
Decision Date: January 20, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party Joseph Pickar appealed the Dismissal of his unfair practice charge by PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC). Charging Party alleged that Respondent County of San Diego violated the Meyers-Milias-Brow Act (MMBA) by rejecting him during probation for unlawful reasons. Respondent asserted that the charge was time-barred, it did not contain sufficient facts to demonstrate retaliation or discrimination under the MMBA, and PERB has no jurisdiction to enforce the County’s civil service rules and policies. OGC issued a warning letter stating Charging Party did not allege a prima facie case of retaliation or discrimination and he failed to file his charge within the statue of limitations. Charging Party amended his charge, however, OGC found the amended charge did not establish a continuing violation and dismissed the charge. Charging Party appealed.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed the dismissal of Charging Party’s charge without leave to amend.
