| 2650P | San Joaquin Regional Transit District 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) Prior to the transfer of SMCS to PERB in 2012, SMCS transit district unit determinations could be appealed to the Director of DIR. When the Legislature transferred SMCS from DIR to PERB in July 2012, the Board itself assumed jurisdiction over appeals from SMCS determinations in representation matters. After this transfer was complete, PERB adopted pre-existing transit act regulations that DIR had promulgated, without making any material changes.

| A452E | Fairfield Unified School District 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) The Board denied an appeal from an administrative determination which denied a severance petition that sought to sever speech-language pathologists from a school district’s other certificated employees, based on societal changes that have occurred in special education and speech-pathology. The community of interest among certificated employees is implicit in the statutory guidelines used for evaluating all certificated personnel, as set forth in the Stull Act, Education Code Article 5.5, sections 13485 through 13490, which are not used for evaluating classified personnel. (p. 4.) Additionally, the distinction between certificated and classified personnel in public education is not simply a standard imposed by PERB Regulations and decisional law, but a statutory distinction set forth in EERA and the Education Code, which, in the absence of legislative action, PERB is not authorized to ignore.

| 2505M | City of Roseville 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) Although a charge must include a clear and concise statement of the facts and conduct alleged to constitute an unfair practice (PERB Reg. 32615, subd. (a)(5)), a complaint alleging surface bargaining need not list every possible indicator of bad faith that may be presented at the hearing. Under PERB’s fact pleading standard, the charging party must include the essential facts (often described as the “who, what, when, where and how” of the charge) with sufficient specificity to permit the Board agent to determine whether “the facts as alleged in the charge state a legal cause of action and [whether] the charging party is capable of providing admissible evidence in support of the allegations.” However, PERB does not require the charging party to identify or provide all of its evidence in the charge.

| 2388Ma | City of Palo Alto 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) In MMBA section 3509(b), the Legislature has conferred on PERB exclusive initial jurisdiction over allegations that a public agency, including without limitation a charter city, has failed or refused to consult in good faith pursuant to section 3507, prior to taking direct action on the matter or to acting indirectly by submitting a ballot measure to its voters. more or view all topics or full text. | 41 | 162 | 04/10/17 |
| A421M | City of Parlier 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) PERB does not have the authority to conduct representation proceedings under the MMBA unless a public agency has not adopted local rules that address that particular representation issue in accordance with MMBA section 3507. Where a city has adopted local rules that address petitions by employee organizations for recognition as exclusive representatives, or where a city specifically adopted a rule that permits the employee relations officer to designate which positions are confidential and establishes a definition of “confidential employee,” as it is specifically authorized to do by MMBA section 3507.5.6, there is no “gap” for PERB to fill with its own representation rules, and PERB lacks jurisdiction to consider such a petition. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 16 | 06/04/15 |

| 2430M | County of Kern 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) The Board granted with prejudice a charging party’s request to withdraw their exceptions to the ALJ’s proposed decision and that the proposed decision be made final and binding only to the parties in this dispute. MMBA section 3509, subd. (a), gives the Board broad discretion to grant or deny requests to withdraw exceptions and dismiss cases pending before the Board itself. Pursuant to the statutory purpose of promoting harmonious labor relations through the voluntary resolution of disputes, the Board will generally permit parties to withdraw exceptions pending before the Board pursuant to a voluntary settlement agreement resolving the issues in dispute. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 180 | 06/10/15 |
| 2431M | County of Santa Clara 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) To avoid acting in excess of its authority the Board has the obligation to determine whether it has jurisdiction over a matter, regardless of whether the issue has been raised by the parties. While MMBA section 3511 excludes PERB from hearing charges filed by “persons” who are peace officers, the statute does not prohibit the Agency from hearing charges brought by employee organizations that represent peace officers or employee organizations seeking to represent units including persons who are peace officers. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 181 | 06/10/15 |

| A423M | City of Folsom 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) Factfinding is available for any dispute over any matter within the scope of representation, so long as the employee organization’s request is timely and the dispute is not subject to statutory exceptions. Factfinding is not limited to disputes over a comprehensive memorandum of understanding. Because the representative’s request was timely, involved a dispute over negotiable matters and did not fall within one of the statutory criteria, the Board affirmed an administrative determination that factfinding was appropriate. PERB does not conduct or oversee the factfinding process nor determine the issues to be presented at factfinding. The Board’s role in MMBA factfinding is generally limited to determining whether a request for factfinding meets the statutory criteria. Because the representative’s request was timely, involved a dispute over negotiable matters and did not fall within one of the statutory criteria, the Board affirmed an administrative determination that factfinding was appropriate. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 184 | 06/11/15 |
| A415M | City and County of San Francisco 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) The Board stated that the issue of whether the former redevelopment agency of the City and County was a joint employer was best determined through unfair practice proceedings when the same factual and legal issues were also raised in an unfair practice charge pending investigation. PERB has the authority under MMBA section 3505.4 to determine whether factfinding applies to the particular dispute in which the request for factfinding arises. In the course of responding to a factfinding request the Board has jurisdiction to decide all factual and legal issues pertinent to the request, even if some of those issues are also pending in an unfair practice case. In this case, however, it was unnecessary for the Board to resolve the overlapping legal and factual issues to determine that a request for factfinding was sufficient. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 28 | 08/19/14 |

Charging Party failed to state a prima facie case for breach of the duty of fair representation by allegation that employee organization failed to provide him with an attorney in a permanent teacher dismissal proceeding. EERA does not require employee organizations to offer members economic benefits such as legal services, and nothing in EERA envisions PERB enforcing such alleged promises to provide member benefits. more or view all topics or full text. | 38 | 156 | 04/18/14 |
| A410M | County of Contra Costa 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) The Board has the authority to consider whether or not the factfinding procedures of the MMBA, including MMBA section 3505.4, apply to single-issue bargaining disputes or any other disputes outside negotiations for a new or successor MOU. The Office of the General Counsel’s administrative determination is not an “advisory” opinion, since it resolved a controversy that was squarely placed before the Office of the General Counsel when the County claimed that factfinding did not apply to the bargaining dispute over which the union requested factfinding. The Board’s consideration of the Office of the General Counsel’s administrative determination is not a conflict of interest, since the General Counsel does not provide legal guidance to Board Members regarding cases under the Board’s consideration. There is nothing improper about the General Counsel defending PERB in litigation, even if the same issues are subsequently presented to the Board itself by appeals of administrative determinations. more or view all topics or full text. | 38 | 154 | 04/16/14 |

Accordingly, the Board grants the union’s request to withdraw the charge. more or view all topics or full text. | 37 | 196 | 03/21/13 |
| 2318M | County of Amador 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) Where, as here, the local rule that purports to establish the timing for the filing of a decertification petition is directly contrary to the MMBA, PERB has no choice but to replace the illegal rule with its own regulation on that subject. When the provision of the employer’s employment relations policy (ERP) that conflicts with MMBA section 3507 is excised, leaving the ERP with no regulation establishing a certification bar as required by MMBA section 3507 and no rule dictating when decertification petitions can be filed, PERB may substitute its Regulation 61200, Bar to Conducting Election, which contains both the contract bar and certification bar doctrine, as well as a filing “window period” if there is an MOU in effect with a term of three years or less. PERB’s “gap-filling” authority does not extend to revising or amending local rules, even if the local entity requests PERB to do so. Permitting amendment by PERB order would allow the employer to avoid its obligation under MMBA section 3507(a), an outcome contrary to law. The plain meaning of MMBA section 3509(a) vests PERB with the authority to “adopt rules to apply in areas where a public agency has no rule,” which does not include “filling the gap” with MMBA section 3507(b) instead of PERB’s regulations. To interpret a provision of a county employment relations policy to mean its opposite literal meaning goes beyond interpretation and into the realm of legislation by amending the policy, especially when a PERB Regulation exists which “fills the gap.” more or view all topics or full text. | 38 | 23 | 07/12/13 |
| 2360M | County of Riverside 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) Any argument that PERB should refrain from enforcing the MMBA by ordering a back-pay remedy, because such an order is unconstitutional, cannot be considered by this agency. The holding of County of Riverside (2003) 30 Cal.4th 278 with respect to private arbitration panels does not divest PERB of its jurisdiction to remedy violations of the MMBA. Having failed to request the Board agent’s recusal immediately when the County allegedly had reason to believe she was biased against it at the outset of the investigation of the unfair practice charge, the County may not make such request in exceptions to the ALJ’s proposed decision. more or view all topics or full text. | 38 | 138 | 03/25/14 |
| A399M | City of Vallejo 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) Both the plain language of MMBA section 3509 and legislative intent behind that section are clear that PERB regulations serve to “fill in the gap” when a local agency has not adopted a local rule on a particular representation issue. Since the employer has not adopted a local rule that provides a severance process, pursuant to PERB Regulation 61000, PERB will conduct representation proceedings in the above-referenced matter, and PERB regulations on the filing of a severance petition under MMBA apply. more or view all topics or full text. | 37 | 205 | 04/12/13 |

Because a county had local rules governing unit modification, PERB Regulation 61450(e)(1), requiring a showing of majority support among unrepresented employees to be added to an existing bargaining unit when the addition would increase unit size by more than ten percent, did not apply despite the local rules’ silence on majority support. more or view all topics or full text. | 35 | 42 | 02/18/11 |

Because a county’s local rule governing unit modification provided the functional equivalent of a unit severance rule and did not unduly burden the petitioning union, PERB lacked jurisdiction over the severance petition. more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 157 | 10/25/10 |

Because a county’s local rule governing unit modification provided the functional equivalent of a unit severance rule and did not unduly burden the petitioning union, the local rule, and not PERB regulations, applied to the union’s severance petition. more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 156 | 10/25/10 |
| 2113M | County of Siskiyou/Siskiyou County Superior Court 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) MMBA section 3509(a) and Trial Court Act section 71639.1(b) grant PERB the authority to adopt rules to apply in areas where a local agency or trial court has no rule. PERB regulations thus serve to “fill in the gaps” when a local agency or trial court has not adopted local rules governing a particular representation issue. Because county and trial court had not adopted local rules governing amendment of certification, PERB’s regulations on the subject applied to petitions to amend an exclusive representative’s certification. more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 95 | 06/07/10 |

| 2082E | Ventura County Community College District 104.01000: PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; STATUTORY AUTHORITY OF BOARD; Authority of Board In General; Validity and Application of Regulations (See also 102.01) EERA section 3541.5 sets forth PERB’s jurisdiction and authority to determine whether or not charges of unfair practices are justified. Section 3541.5(a)(2) addresses PERB’s authority relative to matters also covered by collective bargaining agreements between the parties, and provides that PERB may review an arbitration decision resulting from the parties’ grievance/arbitration process, to determine whether it is repugnant to the purposes of EERA. However, PERB’s authority remains limited to the issuance of a complaint that alleges respondent engaged in conduct that violates EERA. EERA does not provide for an independent de novo review of third-party arbitration decisions. A charge based solely on a claim that a third-party arbitration decision is repugnant cannot stand on its own and is insufficient to state a prima facie case for violation of EERA. Here the District’s charge sought a repugnancy review of an arbitration between the parties, however, it did not allege conduct by the Respondent/Federation that violated EERA and therefore did not establish a prima facie case against the respondent for violation of the Act. more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 14 | 12/09/09 |
