201.04000 – Joint Employer, Single Employer, and Alter Ego Doctrines

The outcome of a single employer inquiry does not necessarily determine unit appropriateness, and the Board has never “looked beyond the plain language of the petition to decide whether two or more public school employers satisfy the single employer test and, if so, whether that relationship requires that we allow only a singular global bargaining unit despite the petitioning union’s request for localized bargaining units.” (Alliance Judy Ivie Burton Technology Academy High School (2020) PERB Decision No. 2719, pp. 22-23, 27.) (p. 19.)
