* * * OVERRULED IN PART by City of Sacramento (2013) PERB Decision No. 2351-M, where the Board held that an employer’s act of soliciting employees to waive a contractual right or to change an established practice constitutes a firm decision or actual change in policy for the purpose of demonstrating an unlawful unilateral change. * * *

Employer’s “attempt” to change a policy is insufficient to establish a prima facie case for illegal unilateral change without offering to meet and confer with the union.
