Under MMBA section 3505.8 and PERB Regulation 32620, subdivision (b)(6), PERB is authorized to: (1) grant a deferral motion and place an unfair practice charge in abeyance if the parties’ dispute is subject to final and binding arbitration pursuant to an MOU; and (2) dismiss the charge at the conclusion of the arbitration process, unless the charging party demonstrates that the ultimate settlement or arbitration award is repugnant to the MMBA.
