The Board rejected the State’s argument that neither the Dills Act nor the MOU create barriers that prevent CDCR from addressing “life and death” matters in the prison system, and it had no obligation to bargain with UAPD before entering into a stipulation or consent decree. In the court case, the judge refused to set aside an order as a bar to Dills Act claims and the State itself acknowledged that it did not intend for the order to release it from its bargaining obligation.
