1207.03000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; Board Proceedings in Court
PERB will exclude from its injunctive relief request to the court any positions that PERB has preliminarily found to be essential if the union agrees to exempt those positions from a planned strike. In some cases, the public may be sufficiently protected if the essential employees are on call, i.e., ready to cross the picket line if needed in the event of an emergency. (San Mateo Superior Court (2019) PERB Order No. IR-60-C, p 5, fn. 3.) A striking union need not use any particular format in notifying PERB, the employer, and the affected employees if the union decides to narrow the scope of its planned strike. (Id. at p. 7.) If a union exempts from a planned strike certain employees or positions that PERB has preliminarily found to be essential, such an exemption will normally mean that (1) there is no “reasonable cause” to believe that the union is threatening an unfair practice as to those positions, and (2) injunctive relief is not “just and proper” as to those positions.

I060C San Mateo County Superior Court (Service Employees International Union Local 521)
1207.03000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; Board Proceedings in Court
PERB did not initiate injunction proceedings where the union exempted from the strike each position PERB preliminarily determined to be essential under the County Sanitation standard. PERB explained that if the union had not exempted all of the positions that it preliminarily determined to be essential, it would have sought a temporary restraining order as to the non-exempted essential positions. PERB described methods by which union could notify PERB, the employer, and the affected employees of its decision to exempt certain positions from a strike. PERB would seek immediate injunctive relief if the employer had presented information that the union violated or threatened to violate its agreement to exempt certain positions from the strike. more or view all topics or full text.
