A failure or refusal to bargain over effects of a non-negotiable change is no less harmful than a failure to bargain over a negotiable change. In either case, the violation “disrupts and destabilizes employer-employee relations and is inconsistent with the goals of our statutes to improve both employer-employee relations and communications between public employers and their employees.” [Citation] (pp. 12-13.)
