In unilateral change case, statute of limitations begins to run when charging party has actual or constructive knowledge of respondent’s clear intent to implement the change. District’s position during negotiations that Fire Marshall classification was no longer in the bargaining unit was insufficient to give the Union notice of the District’s clear intent to reclassify the position. Union did not have notice of clear intent until the District’s Board of Directors approved the reclassification. Charge was timely filed within six months after the District Board’s action.
