401.00000 – EMPLOYER INTERFERENCE, RESTRAINT, COERCION, EMPLOYER CONDUCT AFFECTING ORGANIZING, UNION ACCESS; SOLICITATION, AND OTHER UNION RIGHTS
401.10000 – Released Time

District granted release time to a reasonable number of union negotiators (4) where record devoid of evidence of need for more and where district's policy was not unyielding to changing circumstances; among relevant factors in determining reasonable number released are complexity of negotiations, reasonable needs of union to include reps. of various subgroups in unit, and number of hours spent in negotiations; given differences in operation, particularly lack of exclusive rep.; past practice under Winton Act of little relevance in determining release time needs under EERA; pp. 10-13.
