| 2867M | * * * JUDICIAL APPEAL PENDING * * * City and County of San Francisco 1202.02000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; FACTORS LIMITING OR TERMINATING LIABILITY; Agreement Between. the Parties Respondents request the parties be provided a reasonable period of time to negotiate a remedy that effectuates the purposes of the MMBA, which is opposed by Charging Parties. The Board has a longstanding policy favoring voluntary settlement of disputes. (Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District (1980) PERB Order No. Ad-81a.) Because the unlawful provisions affect City employees beyond the Charging Parties’ bargaining units, the number of interested parties makes a potential alternative resolution ill-suited for negotiation by only two of the many unions representing City employees. We do not find it appropriate to provide the parties with additional time to negotiate, but to the extent the parties are now able to reach mutually agreeable terms that substantially comply with the Board’s remedial order, they may present the settlement agreement to the OGC, to be considered during compliance.

| 2772Ma | County of Sonoma 1202.02000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; FACTORS LIMITING OR TERMINATING LIABILITY; Agreement Between. the Parties The Board declined to order restoration of the status quo ante because the parties subsequently reached letters of agreement resolving all meet-and-confer issues arising out of the Measure P amendments the Board found could not be adopted or implemented without bargaining. It would not effectuate the MMBA’s purposes to disturb that agreement. (p. 30.) more or view all topics or full text. | 47 | 127 | 02/28/23 |
| 2731M | City of Culver City 1202.02000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; FACTORS LIMITING OR TERMINATING LIABILITY; Agreement Between. the Parties The Board found that, by agreeing to certain provisions in the successor memorandum of understanding (MOU), the union clearly and unmistakably waived its right to bargain the change in policy concerning schedules and meal periods. Thus, once the successor MOU took effect, the employer was entitled to make the disputed changes to employees’ schedules. Though this finding did not absolve the employer of liability for its unlawful unilateral change, the Board concluded that a return to the status quo would not effectuate the purposes of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act and accordingly adjusted that portion of the ALJ’s order.

| 2745M | County of Sacramento 1202.02000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; FACTORS LIMITING OR TERMINATING LIABILITY; Agreement Between. the Parties When an employer has implemented terms and conditions of employment without reaching a bond fide impasse, PERB typically orders an employer to restore the status quo and rescind the implemented changes. However, where rescission may be contrary to the bargaining unit’s best interest or may disrupt the employer’s operations, it has allowed the charging party an opportunity to decline all or part of that relief and stayed rescission orders for a period of time to allow the parties an opportunity to bargain over alternative remedies.

| 2615M | County of Kern 1202.02000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; FACTORS LIMITING OR TERMINATING LIABILITY; Agreement Between. the Parties Charging party union may elect to decline restoration of the status quo in any division of employer, particularly where employees in certain divisions may be harmed by rescission of changes. (Denver Post Corp. (1999) 328 NLRB 118, 126, cited with approval in City of Riverside (2009) PERB Decision No. 2027-M, p. 15.) PERB leaves it to charging party union to make this decision because “[w]hether a change is beneficial or detrimental to the employees is a decision reserved to the employees as represented by their union.” (Solano County Employees’ Assn. v. County of Solano (1982) 136 Cal.App.3d 256, 262.) more or view all topics or full text. | 43 | 109 | 12/21/18 |

| 2492M | County of Butte 1202.02000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; FACTORS LIMITING OR TERMINATING LIABILITY; Agreement Between. the Parties PERB’s remedial authority is determined by statute, not by a contractual agreement between parties, and this authority cannot be limited or constrained by stipulation of the parties. MOU language was not a “clear and unmistakable” waiver of union’s right to a remedial order that the employer remit unlawfully withheld dues to union when the employer presented no evidence that the parties intended this agreement to apply in such a way to supersede PERB’s remedial authority in the event the employer unlawfully refused to remit dues and fees. more or view all topics or full text. | 41 | 31 | 06/30/16 |
