| 2689M | Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital District 1309.07000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; UNIT DETERMINATION/CRITERIA (SEE ALSO WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE?, SECTION 200); Unit Size The small size of the proposed unit is not a disqualifying factor alone. more or view all topics or full text. | 44 | 119 | 01/13/20 |
| A453H | Regents of the University of California 1309.07000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; UNIT DETERMINATION/CRITERIA (SEE ALSO WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE?, SECTION 200); Unit Size The Office of the General Counsel correctly relied on the estimated figure of 325 affected employees, as stated in the union’s petition for unit modification, rather than the employer’s estimates of how many employees would eventually be reclassified into the affected classifications. (pp. 21-22.) Proof of support is determined by PERB when a petition is filed and an employer provides a list of employees that comprise the petitioned-for unit or the proposed unit modification. The employer is in the unique position of having sole access to the pertinent information, including which employees perform what duties and under which job titles. Where the employer is unable or unwilling to produce complete and accurate lists of employees in a proposed unit at the time, it is impossible for PERB to verify a showing of support or, as in the present case, whether such a showing is required. In such circumstances, the Board agent conducting the investigation may make reasonable assumptions about the proposed unit or unit modification, including that the number of affected employees estimated by the party of interest applicant is accurate.

| 1068E | San Francisco Community College District (Laborers’ International Union of North America) 1309.07000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; UNIT DETERMINATION/CRITERIA (SEE ALSO WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE?, SECTION 200); Unit Size Lending support to finding the unit determination inappropriate was the small number of employees (8) at stake as there is a potential for proliferation of small units of building trades employees; p. 4. Employer's concerns over the potential impact on its efficiency of operations if one small craft unit approved thus leading to a proliferation of small units cannot be dismissed as "speculative"; p. 28, proposed dec. more or view all topics or full text. | 19 | 26011 | 11/17/94 |

Ad-148 and Ad-148a, and California School Employees Association (Petrich) (1989) PERB Decision No. 767); p. 5, warning letter. more or view all topics or full text. | 20 | 27003 | 11/07/95 |

| 0320E | Oakland Unified School District 1309.07000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; UNIT DETERMINATION/CRITERIA (SEE ALSO WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE?, SECTION 200); Unit Size In determining units the Board deals with classifications, not members.

| 0168E | Antelope Valley Community College District 1309.07000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; UNIT DETERMINATION/CRITERIA (SEE ALSO WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE?, SECTION 200); Unit Size An operations-support unit comprised of approximately 30 to 33 employees in a total work force of 85 is appropriate despite small size. The fact that the employer may incur certain costs does not, of itself, constitute an impairment of the efficient operations of the employer. more or view all topics or full text. | 5 | 12069 | 06/25/81 |
