601.01000 – In General, Per Se and Totality of Conduct; Prima Facie Case

Under the MMBA, only the bargaining representative has standing to allege a violation of the right to meet and confer or other rights only accorded to the exclusive representative. There are no MMBA provisions that require an employer to meet and confer with individual employees. Rather, MMBA section 3503 merely refers to the employee’s ability to meet with the employer without the employee organization.
