SF-CE-1874-M
Decision Date: February 19, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Respondent City and County of San Francisco (San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency) (SFMTA) assigned primary maintenance duties for a battery-electric bus (BEB) pilot to employees in the 7381 Automotive Mechanics classification, represented by Joined Party International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers, Local 1414 (IAM). Charging Party International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 6 (IBEW), alleged that SFMTA violated the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) when it failed to assign maintenance work on BEBs, which are electrically‑powered transit vehicles, to employees in the 7371 Electrical Transit System Mechanics classification within IBEW’s bargaining unit. A previous Board decision found that SFMTA violated the MMBA when it failed to provide necessary and relevant information regarding the BEB assignment decision and remanded for further hearing on the BEB assignment decision itself. After remand, the Chief ALJ issued a proposed decision dismissing the remaining complaint allegations and incorporating the previous request for information order.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed the Chief ALJ’s proposed decision dismissing the remaining complaint and charge allegations. The decision incorporated the order from the previous request for information finding.
