An intervention petitioner must file with PERB proof of at least 30 percent support in the unit claimed to be appropriate. (PERB Reg. 33070, subd. (b).) The employee organization is required to serve the petition for intervention on all parties. (PERB Reg. 33070, subd. (c).) The Board found that an individual teacher’s petition for intervention was invalid because: (1) it was not filed with the employer within 15 workdays as required by PERB Regulation 33070, subdivision (a); (2) it lacked any proof of support, much less the 30 percent minimum in the unit claimed to be appropriate, as required by section 3544.1, subdivision (b) and PERB Regulation 33070, subdivision (b); and (3) the individual teacher was not an employee organization and did not file the petition for intervention on behalf of such an organization as required by section 3540.1, subdivision (d). (pp. 9-12.)
