Where District acknowledges policy in CBA but through error or disagreement fails to meet its contratual obligation by incorrectly stating that employee is only qualified for one vacancy, the dispute is over the application of the CBA provision and not the underlying policy embodied in the contract, the action stating that employee only qualifies for one position is not enough to constitute a unilateral change in violation of EERA; p. 26. A mandatory transfer policy affecting multiple teachers clearly has a generalized effect or continuing impact on the terms and conditions of employment of those bargaining unit members requires the District to provide the union with notice and an opportunity to bargain over that policy; p. 29.
