2772Ma | County of Sonoma 1000.02125: SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION; Salaries or Wages Several disputed Measure P provisions significantly and adversely affected Association-represented employees’ working conditions by creating a second, independent investigatory path. While a second independent investigation may or may not ultimately lead to an officer’s discipline, employees would reasonably view it as significantly and adversely affecting wages and promotional opportunities. Hearing testimony established that an officer who is under investigation will not be appointed to a specialty assignment or promoted. In such circumstances, the officer would not receive additional pay that comes with the specialty assignment or promotion, and the loss of the specialty assignment or promotional opportunity could adversely impact the officer’s career development. In addition, Measure P adversely affects Association-represented employees’ wages regardless of whether they are the subject of the investigation or only a witness, as the measure is silent about whether any employee subpoenaed by the second investigatory body to testify in an investigation will be paid if the interview takes place outside of the employee’s duty hours. The several challenged Measure P amendments allowing repeat investigations of the same officers over an extended period—thereby significantly and adversely affecting their career trajectory—are prime examples of changes for which the benefit of collective bargaining outweighs the short delay caused by requiring negotiations.

2772M | County of Sonoma * * * VACATED IN PART by County of Sonoma (2023) PERB Decision No. 2772a-M * * * 1000.02125: SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION; Salaries or Wages A ballot measure authorized the county’s police review agency to have direct, unfettered access to witnesses without indicating whether Association-represented witnesses would be paid during the interview. Similarly, the requirement of the Sheriff’s Office to provide the police review agency with supervisors of an employee subject to an investigation but does not specify whether any such Association-represented supervisor will be paid during any discussion with the police review agency. These provisions accordingly were within scope and subject to effects bargaining. (p. 46.) more or view all topics or full text. | 46 | 8 | 06/23/21 |

2504E | Anaheim Union High School District 1000.02125: SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION; Salaries or Wages 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.

2427M | County of San Luis Obispo 1000.02125: SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION; Salaries or Wages Where pension plan provisions relied on by the unions did not confer any right to “permanency” in employee benefits or contribution formulas, unions failed to show that proposed changes to employee pension contribution formulas affected “vested rights” beyond the scope of mandatory bargaining. Because no vested rights were identified, the Board declined to consider whether, or under what circumstances, vested rights may be modified through collective bargaining. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 176 | 06/03/15 |
