602.00000 – EMPLOYER REFUSAL TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH; UNILATERAL CHANGE (FOR NEGOT OF SPECIFIC SUBJECTS, SEE SEC 1000, SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION)
602.01000 – In General

By closing the Young Musician’s Program at the UC Berkeley campus, laying off employees, and transferring the Program to an outside entity, the University changed policy. This change also had a generalized effect and continuing impact on terms and conditions of employment, inasmuch as “a bargaining unit is adversely affected when a work transfer results in layoffs or the failure to rehire bargaining-unit workers who would otherwise have been rehired.” (Building Material & Construction Teamsters’ Union v. Farrell (1986) 41 Cal.3d 651, 659.) (pp. 32-33.)
