The Legislature has vested PERB with broad authority to decide what remedies are necessary to effectuate the purposes and policies of the MMBA and the other acts we enforce. (MMBA, § 3509, subd. (b); Mt. San Antonio Comm. College Dist. v. Public Employment Relations Bd. (1989) 210 Cal.App.3d 178, 189.) PERB remedies must serve the dual purposes of compensating for the harm a violation causes and deterring further violations. (County of San Joaquin v. Public Employment Relations Bd. (2022) 82 Cal.App.5th 1053, 1068.) Moreover, a “properly designed remedial order seeks a restoration of the situation as nearly as possible to that which would have obtained but for the unfair labor practice.” (Modesto City Schools (1983) PERB Decision No. 291, pp. 67-68.) (p. 25.)
