Adopting the rule set forth in McClatchy Newspaper (1996) 321 NLRB 1386, the Board held that the school district may insist to impasse, in negotiations over a successor collective bargaining agreement, on a bargaining proposal by which it seeks to retain unfettered discretion over decisions to reduce employees’ hours or work year, both mandatory subjects of bargaining; upon reaching impasse, however, the school district may not impose such a proposal as part of its last, best and final offer.
