| 2452E | Hartnell Community College District 300.12000: UNFAIR PRACTICE ISSUES; PROTECTED ACTIVITIES; Insistence on Union Representation Because charging party has not alleged that an individual was an officer, representative or agent of the exclusive representative, and, in fact, admitted that the individual was not authorized to act on behalf of the exclusive representative, charging party has not sufficiently alleged that s/he engaged in protected activity by requesting the presence of that individual at an investigative meeting. p. 35. Although EERA guarantees public school employees the right to act in concert with other employees for the purpose of bargaining collectively or for providing mutual aid or protection to one another, where a majority of employees in an appropriate unit has chosen a representative, EERA expressly limits the rights of all unit employees, including their rights to self-representation and to act in concert with others, to further the statutory scheme of collective bargaining through exclusive representation. pp. 36-37. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 56 | 09/04/15 |

| 1766M | City of Monterey 300.12000: UNFAIR PRACTICE ISSUES; PROTECTED ACTIVITIES; Insistence on Union Representation Trujillo, the unit employee, engaged in protected conduct under MMBA section 3502 when it designated McCormick, the Local 270 field representative, as his representative during his termination hearing before the City Council. McCormick, the Local 270 field representative, engaged in protected conduct under MMBA section 3503 when he attempted act as Trujillo’s (the unit employee) representative in his capacity as a representative of a recognized employee organization. The City unlawfully designated the union’s attorney as Trujillo’s representative. It is well-established that an employee organization has the right to designate its own representatives in dealing with the employer. The MMBA precludes the Brown Act restriction of employee organization representatives imposed by the City Council. Even under a reasonableness standard, excluding McCormick while permitting the City’s representative and chief witness to remain in the hearing was unreasonable. more or view all topics or full text. | 29 | 130 | 05/20/05 |
