800.00000 – UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; DUTY OF FAIR REPRESENTATION
800.04000 – Scope of Duty; Internal Union Affairs

A union's duty of fair representation is limited to contractually based remedies under the union's exclusive control; p. 4, warning letter. The union is not obligated to represent its bargaining unit members in a forum where employees can represent themselves and are entitled to a hearing pursuant to district regulations, rather than through a collective bargaining agreement. Thus, refusing to assist charging party in this forum is not a violation of the EERA; p. 4, warning letter.
