1310.07000 – Accretion, Adding classification(s) to existing unit (PERB jurisdictions)
Where PERB orders a unit modification or other unit determination that requires an employer to split a classification, PERB normally leaves to collective bargaining any retitling that one or both parties may believe is wise. (See, e.g., Regents of the University of California (2010) PERB Decision No. 2107-H, p. 3, fn.3, & pp. 29-30 [splitting Administrative Nurse classification without retitling]; see also Alum Rock Union Elementary School District (1983) PERB Decision No. 322, pp. 13-15 [retitling is a mandatory bargaining topic].) The impacted employees’ ultimate title is a mandatory subject of bargaining. Nonetheless, PERB retitled the accreted positions as “Math Fellows,” as a default title pending bargaining. (pp. 35-36.)
