Failure of Board agent to inform charging party that respondent was entitled to file response to amended charge does not affect outcome of dismissal of charge. Extension of time granted to respond to amended charge did not violate PERB Regulation 32132(b), where there was no basis to conclude that Board agent did not find good cause for extension. Amended charge that attempted to cure the fatal subject matter jurisdictional defect by re-characterizing what is essentially a wage claim into a claim that the wage dispute arose in retaliation for EERA-protected activities does not state prima facie violation of EERA.
