| A434H | Regents of the University of California 1303.01000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; ELECTIONS; In General PERB has generally construed its regulations governing representation matters narrowly and declined to look to private-sector authority for guidance when PERB’ s regulations expressly address the policy concerns underlying the practice and procedure of private-sector labor boards such as the National Labor Relations Board or Agricultural Labor Relations Board. Because PERB regulations, require that all representation elections affecting HEERA units “be conducted by secret ballot under the supervision of the Board,” and that the ballots for such elections also “shall be prepared under the supervision of the Board,” PERB refused to accept and count tie-breaking vote from employee who constructed his own homemade ballot after allegedly not receiving an official ballot. more or view all topics or full text. | 02/29/16 | ||

| 1916M | County of Imperial 1303.01000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; ELECTIONS; In General A local rule providing that a representation election is valid only if a majority of eligible employees vote in the election frustrates the purposes of the MMBA and is therefore unreasonable. In determining whether to set aside an election, the Board looks at whether the employer’s unfair practices establish a probable impact on the employees’ vote. The question in such cases is whether the employer’s conduct would reasonably tend to coerce or interfere with employee choice. Actual impact need not be shown. more or view all topics or full text. | 31 | 120 | 06/28/07 |
| I055M | County of San Joaquin (Health Care Services) 1303.01000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; ELECTIONS; In General Injunctive relief granted where Board found reasonable cause to believe that employer suspended employee because he was union’s primary organizer.

| A164E | Peralta Community College District 1303.01000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; ELECTIONS; In General As issue voted on by employees was identical to that which would have been presented by a decertification election alone, Board finds that employees were not misled or otherwise affected by the appearance on the ballot of the unit configuration question.

| A156S | State of California (Department of Personnel Administration) (Communications Workers of America) 1303.01000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; ELECTIONS; In General Denying the employee the chance to vote in an agency fee election would violate the MOU and result in a violation of section 3515 by requiring the employees to participate in union activities, through use of the agency fee, in spite of the lack of authorization for such usage after July 1, 1986 (pursuant to the MOU provisions); p. 10.
