1310.06000: REPRESENTATION ISSUES; UNIT MODIFICATION; Unfair Practice and Unit Modification
As a result of applying its unilaterally-adopted concurrent appointment policy, UC Santa Cruz eliminated a Non-Senate Faculty (NSF) Unit Member’s appointment as a 15 percent full-time equivalent lecturer and modified his non-exempt appointment to include the NSF Unit work. Because this conduct unilaterally modified the NSF Unit without UC-AFT’s agreement or utilization of PERB’s unit modification procedures, and also unilaterally modified Article 1 of the parties’ Agreement without providing UC-AFT notice and an opportunity to bargain, the Board concluded that the University violated HEERA section 3571, subdivisions (a) and (c).

Placing just over 50 County per diem registered nurses and nurse practitioners in a newly formed unit all their own, rather than in an existing unit comprising over 500 County RNs and NPs who perform identical work at the same hospital, resulted in unnecessary fragmentation.
