1310.07000 – Accretion, Adding classification(s) to existing unit (PERB jurisdictions)

PERB’s approach in non-transit cases involving accretion of unrepresented employees focuses on preventing the proliferation of bargaining units and fragmentation of employee groups, as well as finding an appropriate unit in which employees can realistically be represented. (Regents of the University of California (2017) PERB Order No. Ad-453-H, pp. 10-11, 23-24 [from its earliest days, PERB has sought to avoid fragmentation of employee groups and unnecessary proliferation of units]; (Regents of the University of California (2010) PERB Decision No. 2107-H, pp. 18-23; El Monte Union High School District (1982) PERB Decision No. 220, p. 10 [interest in preventing fragmentation or proliferation of units].)
