A478E Los Angeles Unified School District
1100.03000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Standing
A person or entity’s standing depends on the legal claim at issue in the charge. The Board has never interpreted its statutes or regulations to mean that a nonexclusive representative lacks standing to pursue an unfair practice charge alleging a violation of EERA section 3543.5, subdivision (a), which makes it unlawful for a public school employer to “[i]mpose or threaten to impose reprisals on employees, to discriminate or threaten to discriminate against employees, or otherwise to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees because of their exercise of rights guaranteed by this chapter.” This is because a public employer’s duty to refrain from the conduct prohibited by section 3543.5, subdivision (a) is not dependent on the existence of an exclusive representative. Nor does such a charge interfere with the rights of an exclusive representative to bargain on behalf of the unit. [Citation.] Thus, the presence of an exclusive representative does not divest employees or their nonexclusive representative of the right to file charges alleging violations of employees’ individual statutory rights. The rights at issue are individual rights that aggrieved parties may assert without regard to the existence of an exclusive representative. (pp. 5-6.) more or view all topics or full text.

2699H Regents of the University of California (Teamsters Local 2010)
1100.03000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Standing
Allowing a nonexclusive representative to assert the rights of employees it represents is particularly important during an organizing campaign, when individual employees may be unable or unwilling to file a charge, or they are unaware of their rights in the first place. A nonexclusive representative need not wait until it becomes the exclusive representative to allege employer interference with the campaign. (p. 8.) more or view all topics or full text.

2699H Regents of the University of California (Teamsters Local 2010)
1100.03000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Standing
Under HEERA, nonexclusive representatives, i.e., employee organizations not certified as exclusive representatives, have standing to allege violations of the rights of employees they represent. (p. 8.) Although HEERA does not grant them the independent right to represent employees, employees have a statutory right to representation by employee organizations of their own choosing. Nonexclusive representatives thus may assert employees’ rights on their behalf, including their rights to be free from discrimination, interference, or retaliation.

2525M City of Livermore
1100.03000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Standing
Employee’s lack of standing, as an employee, to file a unit modification petition under the City’s local rules has no bearing on whether he may bring an unfair practice charge alleging violations of the City’s local rules or of employee rights under the MMBA. Standing is not dispensed “in gross.” Rather, it is evaluated separately for each claim and each form of relief sought. (p. 13.) The Legislature has expressly authorized employees, in their capacity as employees, to bring unfair practice charges alleging either that a public agency has acted in violation of its local rules and/or that it has enforced its local rules in a manner that is inconsistent with the provisions, policies or purposes of the MMBA.

1100.03000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Standing
PERB rejected a City’s contention that it properly applied community of interest criteria to make a unit determination, where the final determination failed to include findings or explain how these various criteria had been applied. (p. 9.) In making unit determinations under its local rules, a public agency must make findings and explain its analytical process in sufficient detail “to enable the parties to determine whether and on what basis they should seek review and, in the event of review, to apprise a reviewing court of the basis for the [public agency’s] action.” (pp. 11-12.) more or view all topics or full text.

2525M City of Livermore
1100.03000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Standing
Lack of standing in unfair practice proceedings is jurisdictional and cannot be waived or otherwise affected by the respondent’s failure to assert that defect or by its mistaken belief as to the identity of persons purportedly acting as the authorized agents of a party with proper standing. (pp. 7-8.) As in civil procedure, lack of standing to bring an unfair practice allegation is a “jurisdictional” defect. Because proper standing to bring an action goes to the very existence of a cause of action and the right to relief, it may be raised at any point in unfair practice proceedings, including for the first time on appeal.

Under EERA, public school employers and exclusive representatives owe a mutual duty to meet and confer with one another in good faith concerning issues within the scope of representation. Thus, the employer’s duty to negotiate in good faith is owed to the exclusive representative employee organization.

The charge alleged that violated Dills Act section 3519.5 where the charge involves conduct between an employee organization and a terminated employee which occurred subsequent to the termination of that individual from State employment, the former employee lacks standing to file an unfair practice charge against the employee organization based on that conduct. However, that holding does not alter the longstanding rule that terminated employees have the right under the Dills Act to challenge the termination itself as discriminatory, because such persons were State employees at the time of the allegedly unlawful conduct that formed the basis of the charge.
