| 2783H | Regents of the University of California 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) After the hearing, the Board notified the parties that the consolidated cases had been placed on the Board’s docket for decision. PERB Regulation 32320, subdivision (a)(1) allows the Board itself to “[i]ssue a decision based upon the record of hearing.” PERB Regulation 32215 allows the Board itself to direct a Board agent to “submit the record of the case to the Board itself for decision.” The University asked the Board to remand the case to the ALJ for a proposed decision, arguing that the ALJ is better suited than the Board to make credibility determinations because he observed the witnesses testify at the hearing. After considering responses from Charging Parties, the Board denied the request. more or view all topics or full text. | 46 | 38 | 07/26/21 |

| 2757M | City and County of San Francisco 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The absence of a paragraph in the complaint explicitly alleging that charging party was reassigned because of protected activity was a minor error that could be disregarded in accordance with PERB Regulation 32645 when the respondent’s motion to dismiss the complaint shows it understood the complaint to include such an allegation.

| 2757M | City and County of San Francisco 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) A finding of good cause to excuse a late filing pursuant to PERB Regulation 32136 does not depend on whether the responsible person was an attorney but whether the late filing was occasioned by circumstances that were either unanticipated or beyond the person’s control, whether the responsible person provided a reasonable and credible explanation for their failure to comply, or made a conscientious effort to comply with the filing deadline. (p. 11.) Even where no prejudice to the other party is apparent, PERB must determine whether good cause exists. Respondent counsel’s busy caseload and PERB’s simultaneous issuance of three complaints and eight dismissals in related cases did not establish good cause to excuse a four month delay in filing an answer.

| 2601H | Regents of the University of California (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 3299) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) PERB Regulations provide that a late filing may be excused at the discretion of the Board “for good cause only.” (PERB Reg. 32136.) If excused, a late filing is considered timely. (Ibid.) Consistent with the policy favoring preservation of the right to appeal and hearing appeals on their merits, the Board’s application of the Regulation to a variety of factual scenarios reveals that “good cause” is a flexible standard, defined and constrained by considerations of fairness and reasonableness. (Trustees of the California State University (1989) PERB Order No. Ad-192-H, pp. 4-5.) Whether good cause exists is a separate inquiry from whether accepting a late filing would result in prejudice.

| 2601H | Regents of the University of California (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 3299) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Where the respondent has failed even to file any answer, it likewise waives not only its affirmative defenses, but also any specific or general denial it might have asserted, unless it is granted leave to file a late answer and have the untimeliness excused for good cause. (PERB Reg. 32136.) Moreover, PERB Regulation 32644 provides that, “[i]f the respondent fails to file an answer as provided in this section, the Board may find such failure constitutes an admission of the truth of the material facts alleged in the charge and a waiver of respondent’s right to a hearing.” (PERB Reg. 32644, subd. (c).) Although the language of the regulation appears to be discretionary, when read together with the language of subdivision (b) of 32644 regarding the contents of the answer, the implication is clear that a respondent’s failure to answer a PERB complaint effectively results in an admission of the matters alleged therein, as well as those alleged in the charge. That is, without an answer, there can be no general or specific denial of the allegations in the complaint, nor any affirmative defenses. more or view all topics or full text. | 43 | 88 | 12/10/18 |
| 2601H | Regents of the University of California (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 3299) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) PERB Regulations expressly state that the answer to a PERB complaint “shall” contain, among other things, a “specific admission or denial of each allegation contained in the complaint” and “[a] statement of any affirmative defense[s]” which the respondent wishes to assert. (PERB Reg. 32644, subd. (b)(5), (6).) Requiring parties to give reasonable notice of their claims and defenses is necessary to ensure a fair litigation process, particularly since PERB’s unfair practice procedures do not provide for pre-hearing discovery. more or view all topics or full text. | 43 | 88 | 12/10/18 |

| A449E | Lake Elsinore Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Pursuant to PERB Regulations 323601 and 32136, Charging Parties appealed from the Appeals Assistant’s determination and request that the Board excuse the late filing and consider the attempted amendment to their statement of exceptions when deciding the merits of the underlying unfair practice charge. Because Charging Parties’ appeal from an administrative determination was itself untimely filed, the Board denied the appeal and declined to consider whether Charging Parties had established good cause to excuse their prior late filing, which was the subject of the appeal. more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 17 | 06/28/17 |
| A447E | Bellflower Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) PERB’s Appeals Assistant correctly determined that Charging Party’s response to the exceptions was untimely, as it was not filed and served until more than 20 days following the date of service of the opposing party’s exceptions. The fact that a document is also filed and served by e-mail does not alter the five-day extension of time under PERB Regulation 32130, subd. (c), if the document is also filed and served by regular mail in accordance with PERB Regulations. However, the same is not true for documents filed and served by facsimile. The Regulation states that, “No extension of time applies in the case of documents served in person, or by facsimile transmission as defined in Section 32090.” more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 15 | 06/28/17 |
| A447E | Bellflower Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board denied Charging Party’s appeal from an administrative determination which denied its filing as untimely due to attorney error. Although an untimely filing may be excused at the discretion of the Board for “good cause” (PERB Reg. 32136), generally, “the Board has not found good cause [to excuse a late filing] in situations where the party’s attorney was directly responsible for the late filing.” Board precedent considers whether good cause exists separate from whether excusing a late filing would result in prejudice. Thus, even if a late filing would not result in prejudice, PERB has no discretion to accept the untimely filing in the absence of good cause. more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 15 | 06/28/17 |
| A446E | Lake Elsinore Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board denied a school district’s appeal from an administrative determination which rejected the district’s filing as untimely where the untimeliness was due to attorney error, including failure to carefully review PERB Regulations or other materials regarding the filing deadlines, counsel’s failure to seek clarification or an extension of time when confronted with conflicting information as to the filing deadline. (pp. 10-11.) Although an untimely filing may be excused at the discretion of the Board for “good cause” (PERB Reg. 32136), generally, “the Board has not found good cause [to excuse a late filing] in situations where the party’s attorney was directly responsible for the late filing.” (Ibid.) more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 18 | 06/28/17 |
| A446Ea | Lake Elsinore Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Because a public school employer’s request for reconsideration concerned a Board decision resolving an appeal from an administrative determination, there was no factual record to reconsider. Prior board precedent had determined that reconsideration is not available for decisions arising from administrative appeals. There are only two grounds for reconsideration authorized by PERB Regulation 32410: (1) the decision of the Board itself contains prejudicial errors of fact, or (2) the party requesting reconsideration has newly discovered evidence which was not previously available and could not have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence. The Regulation’s focus on prejudicial error of fact or newly-discovered evidence indicates that the reconsideration procedure is limited to Board decisions based on a proposed decision and developed factual record following a formal hearing or stipulated record.

| A453H | Regents of the University of California 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) 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.

| A453H | Regents of the University of California 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) By adopting a regulation providing that an increase in the size of a bargaining unit by ten percent or more through the addition of unrepresented positions creates a question concerning representation, the “necessary implication is that increasing the unit by less than ten percent does not call into question the incumbent union’s majority support,” and that the agency is without discretion to require a showing of support in such circumstances. (p. 8.) PERB’s unit modification procedures are inconsistent with the NLRB’s accretion doctrine because the plain language and the policies of HEERA and PERB Regulation 32781 differ in significant respects from their private-sector counterparts. PERB cannot change its regulations through decisional law. (pp. 8-9.) more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 47 | 09/29/17 |
| A453H | Regents of the University of California 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Because HEERA does not itself mandate an election where an established unit is modified, it is within the Board’s discretion to adopt and interpret regulations defining under what circumstances an election is appropriate, or conversely, removing the Board’s discretion to require an election under specified circumstances. The PERB-administered statutes recognize that employee choice is not absolute, but must be balanced against the other policy objectives identified by the Legislature, including establishing “orderly and clearly defined procedures for meeting and conferring and the resolution of impasses.” (p. 9.) more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 47 | 09/29/17 |
| A453H | Regents of the University of California 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board rejected the University’s appeal arguing that a union petitioning for unit modification should be required to show proof of support under PERB Regulation 32781 because, when the petition was filed, the University had not yet completed the process of reclassifying unrepresented employees and it projected to reclassify a significant number of additional employees into the new classification. (p. 14.) The administrative determination appropriately reasoned that the proposed addition sought by a unit modification petition at the time the petition is filed is determinative and “not whether the proposed addition grows or shrinks after the time the petition is filed.” (pp. 13-14.) more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 47 | 09/29/17 |
| A453H | Regents of the University of California 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Pursuant to PERB Regulations, the Board may expedite a unit modification case arising under PERB Regulation 32781. Because the present dispute is a cause of great concern to the parties and affected employees, PERB processed the case on an expedited basis in effort to promote stable employer-employee relations, and thereby effectuate the policies and purpose of HEERA.

| J028H | Regents of the University of California and University Professional and Technical Employees, Communications Workers of America Local 9119 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board declined to join in an employer’s request for judicial review where the issue, application of the ten percent rule for proof of majority support in unit modifications, was neither “novel” nor one of “special importance” unique to HEERA. HEERA section 3564, subdivision (a), makes PERB unit determinations immune from judicial review except when, in response to a petition for judicial review from an employer or employee organization, the Board agrees that the case is one of “special importance” and joins in the request for review; or when the issue is raised as a defense to an unfair practice complaint. (PERB Reg. 32500.) The Board has joined in a request for judicial review only when: (1) the case presents a novel issue; (2) the issue primarily involves construction of a statutory provision unique to the statute under consideration; and (3) the issue is likely to arise frequently. The Board applies this strict standard because the fundamental rights of employees to form, join and participate in the activities of employee organizations could be jeopardized if PERB’s unit determinations were routinely subject to legal challenges. more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 111 | 02/27/18 |
| A458M | County of Solano 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Generally, where the exclusive representative has made a request for factfinding that is timely under any plausible interpretation of the public agency’s local rules and that is accompanied by a statement that the parties have been unable to effect a settlement to their dispute, PERB must accept the request as timely and allow the parties to proceed to factfinding. Here, however, while the local rules appear to contemplate selection of a mediator by mutual agreement of the parties as one option, the employee organization’s conduct was inconsistent with that option, regardless of whether it was the default option or simply one option among others. Because the organization appears to have accepted the selection of the mediator and expressed no reservations about this selection, nor suggested any other mediator or any alternative process whereby the parties would mutually agree on the identity of the mediator, the Board rejected its appeal and adopted the administrative determination that the employee organization’s request for factfinding was untimely. more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 78 | 01/09/18 |
| A455M | County of Solano 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) PERB Regulations provide that an appeal from an administrative decision will not automatically prevent the Board from proceeding in a case. Pursuant to PERB Regulation 32370, parties seeking a stay of any activity may file a request for a stay with the administrative appeal which shall include all pertinent facts and justification for the request. Except as otherwise provided by PERB Regulations, the Board may order a stay of activity when the ruling or order that is the subject of appeal would be rendered unnecessary or moot, should the Board reverse it. In this case, however, because the administrative determination denied Local 1021’s request for factfinding, there was no ruling or order that would be rendered unnecessary if the Board were to reverse the administrative determination. Accordingly, there was nothing to stay and the Board denied the request. more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 55 | 10/25/17 |
| A453H | Regents of the University of California 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board affirmed prior PERB precedent holding that the language of PERB Regulation 32781 eliminates the Board’s discretion to require proof of majority support when a unit modification petition seeks to add classifications which would increase the size of the existing unit by less than ten percent. (pp. 6-7.) PERB Regulation 32781, which governs petitions for unit modification, provides, in relevant part, that if a unit modification petition “requests the addition of classifications or positions to an established unit, and the proposed addition would increase the size of the established unit by ten percent or more, the Board shall require proof of majority support of persons employed in the classifications or positions to be added.” (pp. 4-5.) more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 47 | 09/29/17 |
| 2567E | Hartnell Community College District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board denied Charging Party’s exception which asserted that the ALJ had improperly failed to consider evidence that the employer’s decisionmaker had received biased, inaccurate or incomplete information from a subordinate, which influenced the decision to take adverse action against Charging Party. The exception included no citation to the record and did not identify any specific evidence that was neglected. ERB Regulation 32300 requires the party filing exceptions to: (1) state the specific issues of procedure, fact, law or rationale to which each exception is taken; (2) identify the page or part of the decision to which each exception is taken; (3) designate the portions of the record relied upon; and (4) state the grounds for each exception.

| 2567E | Hartnell Community College District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Charging Party cannot rely on factual allegations made at the pre-hearing stage of PERB proceedings, which PERB accepts as true, with factual findings resulting from a formal hearing and developed record, which are the Charging Party’s burden to prove with competent and admissible evidence. (PERB Regs. 32178.) On review of a dismissal without hearing, the Board treats the charging party’s factual allegations as true and considers them in the light most favorable to the charging party’s case. However, after a complaint issues, the charging party bears the burden of prove the complaint’s allegations by a preponderance of the evidence in order to prevail. (PERB Reg. 32178.) A prior Board decision reversing the dismissal of an unfair practice charge is neither evidence in support of a complaint’s allegations, nor the law of the case as to the merits of the dispute.

| 2548E | Lake Elsinore Unified School District (Edwards) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Despite its highly repetitive and often misplaced or entirely irrelevant arguments, charging party’s appeal from dismissal/refusal to issue a complaint identified the asserted error by the Office of the General Counsel in dismissing her charge, and thus substantially complied with PERB Regulation 32635. While clarity and conciseness are always appreciated, the regulation governing appeals does not expressly require a “clear and concise statement” of the appeal.

| 2544E | Bellflower Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board rejected a school district’s exception that a Board-ordered remedy including restoration of the status quo and make-whole relief conflicted with federal law governing special education. The district’s statement of exceptions and supporting brief included no citation to any provision of the federal statute or decisional law interpreting it, and the district failed to explain how PERB’s customary remedy for a unilateral change would conflict with federal law. The district’s filing both failed to comply with the requirements of PERB Regulation 32300 governing exceptions, and, even if considered, had no merit. Unless a remedial measure positively conflicts with “inflexible standard[s]” or “immutable provisions” set by external law, the fact that it affects matters normally within the jurisdiction of another tribunal does not, by itself, make PERB’s remedy improper.

| 2544E | Bellflower Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) In the absence of any explanation or briefing from a school district who argued that the management rights clause remained in effect after 2010, or a request for reconsideration showing both extraordinary circumstances and that the Board’s determination in a prior decision that the parties’ agreement had expired in 2010 contained prejudicial error of fact, the Board had no grounds to consider the district’s waiver defense, which was based on the management rights language, in this case. (p. 7.) The interpretation of a collective bargaining agreement is not simply a factual finding of the sort which the Board or its agents are free to disregard in a subsequent case involving the same language. Because of its significance for governing the parties’ ongoing relationship, a Board finding as to the meaning of a contract term is more akin to a question of law, particularly where, as here, the question is whether the contract itself is illegal or void for public policy, as declared by the three-year limit for collective bargaining agreements set forth in EERA section 3540.1, subdivision (h).

| 2544E | Bellflower Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board rejected a school district’s exception that it had no notice that the ALJ considered the duration language of the parties’ agreement ambiguous or that the meaning of the duration language would be dispositive in the case by determining whether the management rights clause remained in effect. (p. 5-6.) A PERB hearing officer has the power and the duty to “[i]nquire fully into all issues and obtain a complete record upon which the decision can be rendered” and to “[r]ender and serve the proposed decision on each party.” (PERB Reg. 32170.) A hearing officer is not required to advise the parties of which factual disputes or legal issues may determine the outcome of the case, nor to make preliminary factual findings at the hearing itself so that the parties may object or offer additional evidence or argument on the issue.

| 2544E | Bellflower Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Because the uncontradicted, unimpeached testimony of three union witnesses and one management witness was that the parties’ collective bargaining agreement had expired in 2010, the Board denied a school district’s exception arguing that the agreement’s management rights clause had remained in effect and served as a waiver of the union’s right to bargain over subcontracting of the district’s bus services.

| 2523C | El Dorado County Superior Court 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Because Charging Party’s exceptions raised no error of fact or law that would alter the dismissal of the complaint, it was unnecessary for the Board to address Charging Party’s exceptions regarding the circumstances in which a back pay award would be appropriate or regarding the appropriate measure of damages. (p. 13.) Although the Board reviews exceptions to a proposed decision de novo, it need not address arguments that have already been adequately addressed in the same case or that would not affect the result. The Board has routinely declined to address issues raised in exceptions or on appeal, where the party seeking relief has simply reasserted its claims without identifying a specific error of fact, law or procedure to justify reversal.

(pp. 6-7.) While the content of exceptions to a proposed decision is clearly delineated by PERB Regulation 32300, the form in which exceptions are presented may vary.

However, PERB Regulation 32648 only governs proposed amendments to a complaint made “[d]uring [a] hearing.” Here, the Board reversed the ALJ’s ruling to grant a motion to amend the complaint to include a separate interference allegation closely related to the allegations of the initial charge, because the motion was not made until after the close of the hearing and was therefore not timely within the meaning of the Regulation. After the record has closed and briefs have been submitted, matters not included in the complaint may only be considered by meeting the stricter standard for consideration of unalleged violations.

| 2514E | Santa Ana Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Unlike most PERB failure to prosecute cases, in which the charging party fails or refuses to attend or participate in a duly noticed hearing, in this case, the complaint was dismissed without hearing based on a pre-hearing motion. Because the matter was dismissed without hearing, the Board applied the standard governing the pre-complaint investigation of an unfair charge to consideration of pre-hearing motions to dismiss. Although designated as “exceptions” to a proposed decision, the charging party’s filing, which substantially complied with the requirements of PERB Regulation 32635, subdivision (a), was treated as an appeal from dismissal.

| 2514E | Santa Ana Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Due process and fair proceedings required by statutory, regulatory and decisional law preclude PERB from resolving material factual disputes or making credibility determinations in the absence of a formal hearing or stipulated record. (p. 3, fn. 6.) Although the charging party had several medical restrictions that would require modifying the schedule of a hearing, for example, by taking frequent breaks, so that she is not required to sit or stand for more than one hour at a time, such modifications are not inherently unreasonable, nor unprecedented in PERB proceedings where necessary to accommodate a party’s medical condition. (38-39.) Even assuming a full hearing on the merits was impractical or impossible in this case because of the charging party’s medical condition, at minimum, a hearing on the disputed facts underlying the District’s motion to dismiss and its laches defense was necessary before dismissing the case. Alternatively, PERB Regulations authorize a hearing officer to order any person, including a party or material witness who is unable to attend a hearing because of illness or infirmity, to be deposed to ensure that oral testimony is subject to cross examination.

Unless subject to an exception, any statement not made by a witness testifying before the factfinder constitutes hearsay evidence when offered for its truth. In the absence of some corroborating, non-hearsay evidence, typically in the form of live testimony, the parties’ declarations are insufficient to support a factual finding in unfair practice proceedings.

| 2514E | Santa Ana Unified School District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) A Board agent may, either on a motion by the respondent or with notice and on the agency’s own motion, properly dismiss a complaint on a pre-hearing motion to dismiss where the motion establishes failure to prosecute or an affirmative defense as a matter of law based on undisputed facts. (pp. 19-20, 24-25.) However, in the absence of a hearing, a Board agent is not authorized to resolve factual disputes or make credibility determinations to dismiss an unfair practice case, whether the dismissal occurs during the pre-complaint investigation, or after a complaint has issued but before hearing. (PERB Reg. 32207.) Because in this case, the motion to dismiss asserting failure to prosecute and laches was based on disputed material facts, including the timing and significance of a medical condition suffered by a witness, the Board reversed the dismissal and remanded the matter for hearing within a reasonable time to adjudicate the complaint’s allegations.

| 2505M | City of Roseville 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Where conduct allegedly constitutes both evidence of the respondent’s bad faith and a separate unfair practice, the essential facts for each theory of liability should be stated in the complaint and identified as separate unfair practices. A respondent is entitled to notice of the issues in dispute, so that it can preserve documents and secure witnesses, or expect repose as to those unfair practice allegations that are dismissed, withdrawn, abandoned or otherwise disposed of during the Office of the General Counsel’s investigation. (PERB Regs. 32620, subd. (c), 32630, 32640, subds. (a), (b).) Identifying the essential factual allegations and the theories of liability in a complaint is necessary to provide adequate notice and ensure a full and fair adjudication of the issues, including an opportunity for the respondent to raise any affirmative defenses specific to each theory of liability.

| 2505M | City of Roseville 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Although a charge must include a clear and concise statement of the facts and conduct alleged to constitute an unfair practice (PERB Reg. 32615, subd. (a)(5)), a complaint alleging surface bargaining need not list every possible indicator of bad faith that may be presented at the hearing. Under PERB’s fact pleading standard, the charging party must include the essential facts (often described as the “who, what, when, where and how” of the charge) with sufficient specificity to permit the Board agent to determine whether “the facts as alleged in the charge state a legal cause of action and [whether] the charging party is capable of providing admissible evidence in support of the allegations.” However, PERB does not require the charging party to identify or provide all of its evidence in the charge.

| 2505M | City of Roseville 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Conduct which is alleged in an unfair practice charge as evidence of bad-faith bargaining but not addressed in the pre-complaint investigation and not included in the complaint is proper for consideration at hearing because, under PERB Regulation 32620, the charging party must have notice in writing of any deficiencies in the charge before an allegation is dismissed. By restricting a charging party to only those indicia of bad faith specified in the complaint, where other indicia have been alleged in the charge but not included in the complaint, PERB would effectively dismiss charge allegations without notice of deficiencies to the charging party. PERB cannot change its Regulations through decisional law. (pp. 13-14.) more or view all topics or full text. | 41 | 97 | 11/30/16 |

Notwithstanding the phrase “including but not limited to” or similar language, the complaint identifies the specific acts or indicia that are sufficient to state a prima facie case, while also giving the respondent notice that, under PERB’s totality of conduct test, the specific acts or indicia described in the complaint are not necessarily exhaustive of the evidence the charging party may present at hearing to prove the surface bargaining allegation.

| 2452E | Hartnell Community College District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) PERB Regulation 32620, subdivision (d), entitles the charging party to a warning letter identifying any deficiencies before any allegations in the charge is dismissed. Because charging party’s allegation that he was denied payment for hours actually worked in retaliation for his protected activity, the dismissal was reversed and the charge remanded for issuance of a complaint. Pursuant to PERB Regulation 32635, subdivision (b), the Board may supplement the record of an appeal with new supporting evidence only for “good cause.” PERB has generally found “good cause” to do so, when the new allegations or supporting evidence presented in an appeal could not have been discovered by the charging party with the exercise of reasonable diligence before the charge was dismissed, such as when the events giving rise to the new evidence did not occur until after the charge was dismissed. The newly-available evidence, which concerned charging party’s satisfactory performance of job duties for an employer other than the respondent was only marginally relevant at this stage of the proceedings and, although considered by the Board, did not affect any of the issues on appeal. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 56 | 09/04/15 |
| A432H | Trustees of the California State University 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board denied a higher education employer’s appeal from an administrative determination rejecting the employer’s late-filed opposition to an appeal from dismissal of an unfair practice charge, finding the employer had not provided sufficient factual detail to establish either a reasonable and credible explanation for its untimely filing or that it made a conscientious effort to comply with the deadline by requesting an extension of time, as required by PERB Regulation 32136 and decisional law. The employer admitted that its designated representative was in possession of the opposing party’s appeal almost two weeks before the deadline, the employer’s representative neither requested an extension of time nor sought clarification of the deadline but instead attempted to extend its own deadline for filing its papers because of delay in receiving opposing party’s appeal due to defective service. Although the Board may grant extensions of time or excuse late filings for good cause, parties cannot take the filing deadlines into their own hands. The Board denied a higher education employer’s request to refuse to consider an opposing party’s appeal for defective service where there was no evidence that the employer had been prejudiced by the failure to properly serve the appeal. Unlike PERB’s regulations and decisional law governing whether to excuse a late filing, no showing of “good cause” is required to excuse defective service; rather, the service requirement may be excused if opposing parties have actual notice of the issues and would not be unfairly surprised or unduly prejudiced. Because the employer was in receipt of opposing party’s appeal almost two weeks before the deadline for filing an opposition to the appeal, it had actual notice of the issues and was not prejudiced by the fact that the appeal was not served in complete conformity with the requirements of PERB Regulation 32140, subdivision (a). more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 138 | 02/11/16 |

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.

| 2476M | City of Santa Clara 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Pursuant to PERB Regulation 32176, hearsay evidence contained in declarations is insufficient, by itself, to make findings and resolve disputed material facts. Presiding ALJ had discretion to convene a hearing to take live testimony on disputed material facts in order to inquire fully into all issues and obtain a complete record on which a decision could be rendered, even where parties had agreed to proceed on a stipulated record supplemented by declarations and rebuttal declarations containing disputed material factual issues. Pursuant to PERB Regulation 32207, parties may submit stipulated facts where appropriate to a Board agent. No hearing shall be required unless the parties dispute the facts in the case. The regulation authorizes a hearing officer to convene a hearing and take live testimony to resolve material factual disputes, even where the parties themselves have agreed to proceed on a stipulated record and to present disputed facts through sworn declarations. Pursuant to PERB Regulations 32170, subdivision (a), and 32207, presiding Board agent may supplement parties’ stipulated record and declarations by ordering presentation of witnesses or other competent and reliable evidence on issues involving disputed material facts to make credibility determinations and to “[i]nquire fully into all issues and obtain a complete record upon which the decision can be rendered.” more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 154 | 03/10/16 |
| 2481H | Regents of the University of California (Los Angeles) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) PERB Regulation 32150 provides that, before the hearing has commenced, the Board shall issue subpoenas at the request of any party for attendance of witnesses or production of documents at the hearing. The regulation also provides that compliance with the provisions of section 1985 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be a condition precedent to the issuance of a subpoena for production of documents. After the hearing has begun, a decision to issue subpoenas is left to the sound discretion of the hearing officer. Board declined to disturb ALJ’s ruling denying charging party’s request, made on the last day of presenting his case-in-chief, for production of documents to attack witness credibility. Despite being a self-represented layperson, charging party was familiar with PERB’s unfair practice proceedings from a previous case. PERB Regulation 32300 requires the party filing exceptions to a proposed decision to include: (1) a statement of the specific issues of procedure, fact, law or rationale to which each exception is taken; (2) identify the page or part of the decision to which each exception is taken; (3) designate the portions of the record relied upon; and (4) state the grounds for each exception.

| 2453E | Cabrillo Community College District 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Because this case is an appeal from a dismissal and refusal to issue a complaint by the Office of the General Counsel, our inquiry at this stage is focused on the sufficiency of the charging party’s allegations. In addition, we may also consider information provided by the respondent, but only when such information is submitted under oath, complements without contradicting the facts alleged in the charge, and is not disputed by the charging party. (PERB Reg. 32620(c).) In processing an unfair practice charge, the role of a Board agent is to investigate the charge to determine if an unfair practice has been alleged. However, the Board’s regulations do not empower agents to rule on the ultimate merits of a charge. (PERB Regs. 32620 and 32640.) An employer’s affirmative defense should be considered at the charge-processing stage of unfair practice proceedings only if raised in a verified and properly served position statement (PERB Regs. 32140(a) and 32620(c)), and only if the asserted defense rests on factual allegations that do not contradict those included in the charge, and which the charging party does not dispute. Under PERB Regulation 32635(b) a charging party may not present new charge allegations or new supporting evidence on appeal from a dismissal unless good cause is shown. The Board has generally found good cause to do so when the new allegations or supporting evidence could not have been discovered by the charging party through the exercise of reasonable diligence before the charge was dismissed. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 57 | 09/17/15 |

| 2101Ha | Regents of the University of California (Davis) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Under PERB Regulation 32410(a), the grounds for requesting reconsideration of a final Board decision are limited to claims in which: (1) the decision of the Board itself contains prejudicial errors of fact, or (2) the party has newly discovered evidence which was not previously available and could not have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence. These limited grounds preclude a party from using the reconsideration process to reargue or re-litigate issues that have already been decided. Where, as here, the request fails to identify prejudicial errors of fact or present newly discovered evidence, denial of the request is appropriate. The Board will grant a request for reconsideration pursuant to PERB Regulation 32410(a) for the purpose of conforming an order with the Board’s decision because, under the newly discovered evidence standard, the error did not exist and could not have been discovered until the issuance of its initial decision. more or view all topics or full text. | 35 | 46 | 02/24/11 |

| A367S | State of California (Information Technology Bargaining Unit 22 and Service Employees International Union Local 1000/California State Employees Association) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) PERB has enacted a series of regulations allowing for severance petitions and the procedures to be followed. (PERB Regs. 40200 through 40260.) Under PERB’s severance petition rules, the first step to establish such a unit of employees is to file a severance petition which is accompanied by proof of majority support in the unit claimed to be appropriate. (PERB Reg. 40200(a) and (b).) This proof of support is defined by PERB Regulation 32700. PERB Regulation 32700’s provisions specify that the proof of support must demonstrate that the employee desires to be represented by the employee organization and what information must be provided as to each employee signing the proof of support. There is no language in these proof of support regulations or any PERB rules governing severance petitions which provides that this demonstration of an employee’s desire to be represented may be controverted by a showing that the employee has subsequently withdrawn his or her support. Because no PERB regulations exist authorizing the use of signature revocations, we find that the Board agent improperly accepted the exclusive representative’s authorization revocation cards to determine if the proposed unit had proof of majority support. more or view all topics or full text. | 31 | 154 | 11/06/07 |

| A372E | California School Employees Association and Its Chapters 246, 336 and 617 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) Under PERB Regulation 32136, the Board may excuse a late filing for good cause. The Board has found good cause in situations where the justification was “reasonable and credible.” The Board has deemed “honest mistakes,” such as mailing or clerical errors, to show good cause. In this case, the Board excused a late filing based upon an attorney’s plausible explanation that an ordinarily reliable clerical employee inadvertently neglected to file the document by fax or personal service but still timely served CSEA with the appeal. Upon being notified that it failed to file its appeal with PERB, the District immediately faxed the document to PERB. Therefore, the justification was “reasonable and credible.” If justification for the late filing is “reasonable and credible,” the Board then evaluates whether there is prejudice to the charging party. Here, the proof of service showed the document to have been properly and timely served on CSEA. more or view all topics or full text. | 32 | 72 | 04/21/08 |

| A343S | State of California (State Personnel Board) 1503.02000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS; Regulations Considered (By Number) The Board’s practice has been to interpret PERB Regulation 32130(c) to add the five day extension to deadlines extended pursuant to PERB Regulation 32132. Consequently, the Board finds SPB’s exceptions to be timely filed and DPA’s argument regarding good cause for late filings to be inapplicable. Since PERB Regulation 32132 allows the Board to grant extensions of time for good cause, that determination was made when the Appeals Office granted the extension. The document granting the extension incorporates the provision of section 32132 in providing an additional five-day extension for its service by mail. PERB Regulation 32130 was originally based on the mailbox rule found in Cal. Code of Civil Procedure section 1013. CCP section 1013 has been liberally construed by the courts to grant the additional extension of time to respond to documents served by mail. Cases interpreting that provision in which section 1013 was deemed inapplicable involve situation in which private parties had granted an extension of time. There were no cases in which a court or administrative body had granted an extension of time for response. more or view all topics or full text. | 29 | 43 | 12/21/04 |
