To state a prima facie case of a PEDD section 3553, subdivision (b) violation, an exclusive representative must show: (1) the employer’s communication is a “mass communication” that was delivered to multiple recipients; (2) the mass communication is one “concerning public employees’ rights to join or support an employee organization, or to refrain from joining or supporting an employee organization”; and (3) the employer did not meet and confer with the exclusive representative about the content of the mass communication before distributing it to employees. (pp. 12-17.)
