1308.00000 – REPRESENTATION ISSUES; SEVERANCE
1308.01000 – In General

Under the MMBA, PERB has jurisdiction over a representation petition only when an agency’s local rules contain no provision that can accomplish what the petitioner is seeking without placing an undue burden on the petitioner. Because a county’s local rule governing unit modification provided the functional equivalent of a unit severance rule and did not unduly burden the petitioning union, PERB lacked jurisdiction over the severance petition.
