There are two competing interests in representation cases: stable and harmonious labor relations based on appropriate bargaining units, and employee free choice. (Regents of the University of California (2025) PERB Order No. Ad-527-H, p. 12 (Regents).) PERB balances these interests by prioritizing a petition that involves a question concerning representation over a conflicting petition that does not and PERB Regulation 32781(e)(2) therefore requires a unit modification petitioner to provide at least 30 percent proof of support when the titles at issue in its petition are also included in a “pending” request for recognition. A “pending” recognition request is one that is on file. (Id. at p. 14.) (p. 9.)
