801.04000 – Union Rules and Discipline in General; Union Dues and Fees; Fines, Assessments, Etc.

The Board will review the reasonableness of union membership rules under Dills Act section 3515.5. (California State Employees Association (Hard, et al.) (2002) PERB Decision No. 1479-S; California State Employees Association (Hard, et al.) (2002) PERB Decision No. 1479a-S. [CSEA(Hard)]) This case differs from CSEA(Hard) in that CSEA did not suspend or dismiss Barker and Osuna from membership when removing them from their BUNC chair positions. The Board is normally reluctant to interfere in the internal union affairs of employee organizations unless there is an impact on the employee’s relationship with the employer. Here there was no showing of any impact from CSEA’s removal of Barker and Osuna from their BUNC chair positions.
