| 1742M | Contra Costa County Health Services Department 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Charging party’s appeal did not comply with PERB Regulation 32635(a) as required for an appeal to the Board. Instead, the appeal reiterated the facts alleged in the unfair practice charge and did not specifically address why the dismissal should be reversed.

| 2846M | City and County of San Francisco 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal In resolving an appeal of a dismissal, the Board reviews OGC’s decision de novo, applying the same legal standard OGC applied to the allegations in the charge. At this stage of litigation, “the charging party’s burden is not to produce evidence, but merely to allege facts that, if proven true in a subsequent hearing, would state a prima facie violation.” PERB assumes the charging party’s factual allegations are true, and views them in the light most favorable to the charging party. PERB does not rely on the respondent’s responses if they explicitly or implicitly create a factual conflict with charging party’s allegations, even if the respondent’s contrary responses are stated more persuasively or appear as if they may be backed up by more supporting evidence, when compared to charging party’s allegations. Thus, at this stage of the case PERB does not resolve conflicting allegations, make conclusive factual findings, or judge the merits of the dispute. Rather, if there are one or more contested facts (or mixed questions of law and fact) that could affect the outcome, or there are contested, colorable legal theories, a complaint should issue, with the disputed issue(s) to be resolved at a formal hearing.

| 2804E | South Orange County Community College District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Charging Party did not appeal Office of the General Counsel’s (OGC) dismissal of the alleged Ralph M. Brown Act violation for lack of jurisdiction, nor the dismissal of the allegations that the school district retaliated against Charging Party by placing her on administrative leave, issuing her a Notice of Intent to Discipline, and placing her on an unpaid suspension, all of which OGC found to be untimely. Accordingly, those allegations were not before the Board on appeal. (p. 2, fn. 2.)Because the amended charge alleged facts establishing three recognized nexus factors, the Board reversed the dismissal of the allegation that the school district terminated Charging Party’s employment because of her EERA-protected activity and remanded the matter to OGC for issuance of a complaint on that allegation. Although the Board found the charge allegations established three particular nexus factors, Charging Party remained free to introduce all relevant and admissible evidence of nexus at the formal hearing.

| 2804E | South Orange County Community College District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal The Board reviews the Office of the General Counsel’s (OGC) dismissal of a charge de novo, applying the same legal standard OGC applied to the allegations in the charge. At this stage of litigation, “the charging party’s burden is not to produce evidence, but merely to allege facts that, if proven true in a subsequent hearing, would state a prima facie violation.” The Board thus assumes the charging party’s factual allegations are true, and views them in the light most favorable to the charging party. The Board does not rely on the respondent’s responses if they explicitly or implicitly create a factual conflict with charging party’s allegations, even if the respondent’s contrary responses are stated more persuasively or appear as if they may be backed up by more supporting evidence, when compared to charging party’s allegations. Thus, at this stage of the case the Board generally does not resolve conflicting allegations, make conclusive factual findings, or judge the merits of the dispute. Rather, if there are one or more contested facts (or mixed questions of law and fact) that could affect the outcome, or there are contested, colorable legal theories, a complaint should issue, with the disputed issue(s) to be resolved at a formal hearing. Where a material factual dispute turns on the respondent’s state of mind, the Board takes into account that motive is generally within the respondent’s own knowledge and that there is little opportunity for pre-hearing discovery, and the Board accordingly imposes on the charging party a relatively low burden to allege facts tending to show the requisite state of mind.

| 2744E | San Jose/Evergreen Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 6157, and American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO (Crawford et al.) 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal On appeal from dismissal of an amended charge, the Board assumes that a charging party’s factual allegations are true, and views them in the light most favorable to the charging party. (Cabrillo Community College District (2015) PERB Decision No. 2453, p. 8 (Cabrillo I); Cabrillo Community College District (2019) PERB Decision No. 2622, p. 4 (Cabrillo II).) The Board does not rely on a respondent’s responses if they explicitly or implicitly create a factual conflict with a charging party’s factual allegations, even if the respondent’s contrary responses are stated more persuasively or appear as though they may be backed up by more supporting evidence, when compared to the charging party’s allegations.

| 2712M | City and County of San Francisco 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal In resolving an appeal of a dismissal, the Board reviews OGC’s decision de novo. PERB assumes that charging party’s factual allegations are true, and views them in the light most favorable to the charging party. PERB does not rely on the respondent’s responses if they explicitly or implicitly create a factual conflict with charging party’s allegations, even if the respondent’s contrary responses are stated more persuasively or appear as if they may be backed up by more supporting evidence, when compared to charging party’s allegations. At this stage, PERB generally does not resolve conflicting allegations, make conclusive factual findings, or judge the merits of the dispute. It is appropriate to dismiss an alleged violation without issuing a complaint if the parties’ filings disclose undisputed facts sufficient to defeat the claim. If there are one or more contested, outcome-determinative facts (or mixed questions of law and fact), or contested, colorable legal theories, OGC should issue a complaint and generally a formal hearing is needed. Mere legal conclusions are insufficient to state a prima facie case. However, where a material factual dispute turns on the respondent’s state of mind, we take into account that motive is generally within respondent’s own knowledge and that there is little opportunity for pre-hearing discovery. We therefore impose on charging party a relatively low burden to allege facts tending to show the requisite state of mind. (pp. 2-3.) more or view all topics or full text. | 44 | 173 | 05/06/20 |
| 2622E | Cabrillo Community College District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Following Board review of a dismissal, the Board remanded the case to the Office of the General Counsel for issuance of a complaint. (p. 2, citing Cabrillo Community College District (2015) PERB Decision No. 2453.) Following a formal hearing, the ALJ dismissed the complaint. (p. 1.) Charging party’s exception that the ALJ improperly departed from the Board’s prior decision is misplaced. The Board made no conclusive factual findings in its earlier decision directing OGC to issue a complaint. (pp. 4-5.) Once OGC issued the complaint, it was incumbent upon charging party to prove the complaint allegations during the hearing. (p. 5.) more or view all topics or full text. | 43 | 126 | 02/04/19 |
| 2622E | Cabrillo Community College District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal On appeal of dismissal of an unfair practice charge, the Board’s inquiry is limited to the legal sufficiency of the charging party’s allegations, i.e. whether the factual allegations, if accepted as true, would state a prima facie violation. It does not determine whether a preponderance of the evidence will ultimately establish the factual allegations as true. (p. 4.) more or view all topics or full text. | 43 | 126 | 02/04/19 |

| 2548E | Lake Elsinore Unified School District (Edwards) 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Where Charging Party’s discrimination allegation turns on a matter of law outside PERB’s traditional expertise, i.e., whether the public school employer complied with state law and/or regulations governing certificated employee retirement credit, the appropriate question is not which of two competing interpretations of external law is the more plausible, but whether the language in dispute is reasonably susceptible to the charging party’s interpretation and whether that interpretation supports a viable, i.e., non-frivolous, legal theory of an unfair practice or other violation of a PERB-administered statute. Where the investigation of an unfair practice charge results in receipt of conflicting allegations of fact or contrary theories of law, fair proceedings, if not due process, demand that a complaint be issued and the matter be sent to formal hearing to test a novel theory or competing theories of law, so long as the theory advanced is “viable,” i.e. non-frivolous. The Board is necessarily cautious about rejecting allegations involving statutory, decisional, regulatory, or other authority outside PERB’s jurisdiction and special expertise in labor relations, particularly when the area of external law is itself unsettled. more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 102 | 02/02/18 |
| 2548E | Lake Elsinore Unified School District (Edwards) 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Although the charge relied extensively on the Education Code and other matters outside PERB’s jurisdiction, because it alleged that a public school district employer had denied charging party retirement or other employment benefits to which she was legally entitled because of her protected activity, the matter constitutes an unfair practice allegation within PERB’s legislatively designated field of expertise. (p. 12.) The Office of the General Counsel correctly determined that while PERB has no authority to enforce or order remedies for violations of the Education Code, the Board and its agents may interpret the provisions of the Education Code or other matters of external law where necessary to administer EERA or to harmonize it with external law. (pp. 11-12.) To avoid acting in excess of its authority, PERB has an obligation to determine whether it has jurisdiction over a dispute, regardless of whether the parties themselves have raised the issue.

If, following a warning letter that adequately identifies the deficiencies in a charge, subsequent amendments do not correct those deficiencies, dismissal is appropriate. (PERB Reg. 32620, subd. (d); 32621.) (p. 4.) more or view all topics or full text. | 41 | 150 | 03/20/17 |
| 2514E | Santa Ana Unified School District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Even though it may contain other, extraneous and improper matters, where an appeal asserts various factual, legal and procedural errors, explains the grounds for reversal, and provides points and authorities in support of its arguments, the filing substantially complies with the requirement that an appeal “place the Board and the respondent on notice of the issues,” by identifying the substance of the Dismissal and the specific errors of fact, law, or application of law to fact which she claims warrant reversal.

| 2514E | Santa Ana Unified School District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Unlike most PERB failure to prosecute cases, in which the charging party fails or refuses to attend or participate in a duly noticed hearing, in this case, the complaint was dismissed without hearing based on a pre-hearing motion. Because the matter was dismissed without hearing, the Board applied the standard governing the pre-complaint investigation of an unfair charge to consideration of pre-hearing motions to dismiss. Although designated as “exceptions” to a proposed decision, the charging party’s filing, which substantially complied with the requirements of PERB Regulation 32635, subdivision (a), was treated as an appeal from dismissal.

| A437H | Regents of the University of California and Teamsters Clerical, Local 2010 (Polk) 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal The indefinite and continuing nature of charging party’s requests for extensions of time to appeal the dismissal of her unfair practice charges would fundamentally alter the nature of PERB’s unfair practice proceedings. PERB affords parties to an unfair practice charge a relatively user-friendly administrative process for adjudication of labor disputes. The expectation is that unfair practice charges are handled as expeditiously as possible at both the case processing and administrative appellate stages. Especially in a case where the Office of the General Counsel has dismissed an unfair practice charge after conducting an investigation and concluding that a prima facie case has not been established by the allegations of the charge, it is imperative that any appeal from dismissal be handled as promptly as possible. The Board denied charging party’s appeal from the Appeals Assistant’s administrative determination denying her a fifth extension of time. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 177 | 05/09/16 |
| A438E | Pomona Unified School District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal PERB Regulation 32130 governs the computation of time for filings. Subdivision (a) states that the period of time begins to run the day after the act or occurrence referenced. Subdivision (b) states that when the last day to file a document falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the time period is extended to the next regular PERB business day. Subsection (c) provides an additional five days to any filing made in response to documents served by mail. Because the initial due date included in the letter from the Appeals Assistant fell on a Saturday, because the letter was served on Charging Party by mail, and because the due date factoring in the 5-day extension also fell on a Saturday, Charging Party’s appeal was timely. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 190 | 06/09/16 |
| 2453E | Cabrillo Community College District 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Where the investigation results in receipt of conflicting allegations of fact or contrary theories of law, fair proceedings, if not due process, demand that a complaint be issued and the matter be sent to formal hearing.

| 2298M | Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal This case is an appeal from a dismissal and refusal to issue a complaint. Our inquiry at this stage is focused solely on the sufficiency of union’s allegations. We test union’s allegations against the legal standards for a violation of the MMBA, not against contrary allegations of the Hospital even where those contrary allegations may be more persuasively stated. We do not resolve conflicting allegations. Instead, we refer them to a hearing and ultimate resolution following findings by an administrative law judge. If the investigation results in conflicting allegations of fact or contrary theories of law, fair proceedings, if not due process, demand that a complaint be issued and the matter be sent to formal hearing. At the pleading stage, it is not up to the Board agent to judge the merits of the charging party’s dispute, but to leave the weighing of the evidence to the administrative law judge at a full evidentiary hearing. more or view all topics or full text. | 37 | 137 | 12/20/12 |

| A370H | Regents of the University of California 1100.05000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Dismissal of Charge; Appeal Charging party’s request to reopen the case to file a factual letter, which was submitted after the charge had been dismissed and after time to appeal the dismissal had elapsed, is treated as an appeal of the dismissal. Such appeal cannot be considered unless PERB exercises its jurisdiction under PERB Regulation 32136 to excuse the late filing for good cause. Where charging party’s factual letter, which PERB received subsequent to PERB’s dismissal of the charge, existed prior to the deadline to appeal the dismissal, employee organization’s claim that charging party’s trip out of the country and incapacitating sickness upon his return caused the late submission, where no dates for such trip incapacity were provided, failed to state good cause to excuse the late filing. Employee organization’s claim that charging party’s factual letter, submitted after PERB had dismissed charging party’s case, was filed late because employee organization’s president changed his employment and the handling of the charge was transferred to another steward, where no dates of those events were given and where the president did not leave his employment until the date the appeal of the dismissal was due, fails to excuse the late filing of the factual letter. Where steward knew on October 10, 2007, that charging party’s factual letter had not been included in a charge that had been dismissed by PERB, failure to file the letter as an appeal of the dismissal until 22 days after that knowledge precludes the Board from finding good cause for a late filing under PERB Regulation 32136. more or view all topics or full text. | 32 | 47 | 02/29/08 |
