|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2504E | Anaheim Union High School District 1000.02115: SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION; Reduction in Hours/Workday/Worktime/Workyear Because the parties’ discussions concerned mandatory subjects, including the number and identify of employees to be laid off, and the wages and hours of remaining employees, the Board dismissed the charging party’s allegation that the employer had unlawfully insisted to impasse on a permissive subject of bargaining by proposing various economic concessions within the framework of alternative shorter and longer lists of employees to be laid off. Although an employer’s decision to layoff is not subject to bargaining, the negotiable effects of that decision include the timing, number and identity of employees to be laid off. Additionally, alternatives to layoffs, including furloughs, reductions in employee hours or other concessions in pay or benefits, are negotiable because they necessarily affect enumerated subjects, including wages and hours.

The employer may not unilaterally convert a vacant full-time, full-benefit position to multiple part-time, reduced-benefit positions at substantial labor cost savings and justify the action simply because the resulting part-time positions will provide a changed level of service; p. 10. Employer can adjust hours of a vacant position unilaterally if the changes are not primarily bases on wage and benefit cost considerations. more or view all topics or full text. | 23 | 30174 | 09/30/99 |
