As part of the Board’s authority to take any action in a pending case that the Board deems necessary to discharge its duties and effectuate the purposes of the labor relations laws that PERB enforces, the Board has discretion to grant or deny requests to withdraw and dismiss cases pending before the Board itself. (HEERA, § 3563, subds. (h), (m); State of California (Department of Personnel Administration) (2010) PERB Decision No. 2152- S, p. 5.) The Board found that withdrawing AFSCME’s unfair practice charge with prejudice, withdrawing the exceptions, and vacating the proposed decision were consistent with the purposes of HEERA to promote harmonious and cooperative labor relations between the State’s public institutions of higher education and their employees.
