602.01000 – In General

* * * OVERRULED IN PART ON OTHER GROUNDS by County of Sacramento (2013) PERB Decision No. 2315-M. * * *

Department’s decision to close veterans’ home’s acute care unit and layoff acute care employees did not constitute unlawful unilateral change. The decision was not within the scope of representation because the department did not contract out bargaining unit work to private hospitals but merely ceased to provide acute care services to home’s residents.
