1310.00000 – REPRESENTATION ISSUES; UNIT MODIFICATION
1310.07000 – Accretion, Adding classification(s) to existing unit (PERB jurisdictions)

In accretion cases, the inquiry is whether the classifications to be added to the existing unit share a “community of interest” with employees in the existing unit. In its analysis, PERB examines: job function and duties; wages; method of compensation; hours; employment benefits; supervision; qualifications, training, and skills; contact and interchange with other employees; integration of work functions; and common goals. (p. 28.) This determination is based on the totality of the circumstances. (p. 29.)
