| 2480M | County of Trinity (United Public Employees of California, Local 792) 301.03000: UNFAIR PRACTICE ISSUES; STRIKES, SLOWDOWNS AND WORK STOPPAGES; Post-Impasse Because bargaining impasse was not broken, the bargaining obligation was not revived and the exclusive representative did not violate its duty to bargain in good faith by going out on strike; impasse suspends the parties’ obligation to bargain only until “changed circumstances” demonstrate that an agreement may be possible; the making of “concessions” is key to finding a change in circumstances sufficient to revive the duty to bargain; a handful of non-substantive e-mail exchanges exploring the parties’ interest in and availability for a meeting did not rise to the level of changed circumstances sufficient to revive the bargaining obligation, as there was no evidence that either party made a substantial concession from an earlier position and was genuinely committed to a new bargaining position; because the parties were at impasse, the employer had the option to refuse the exclusive representative’s request to meet, to respond to the request with a concession substantial enough to revive the bargaining obligation or to unilaterally impose its last, best and final offer; by instead insisting that the duty to bargain was revived, the employer foreclosed all its options. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 171 | 04/25/16 |

| I050E | Compton Unified School District * * * OVERRULED IN PART by Fresno County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority (2015) PERB Decision No. 2418-M 301.03000: UNFAIR PRACTICE ISSUES; STRIKES, SLOWDOWNS AND WORK STOPPAGES; Post-Impasse * * * OVERRULED IN PART by Fresno County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority (2015) PERB Decision No. 2418-M, where the Board held that the right to strike is statutorily protected. * * *PERB has initial exclusive jurisdiction over dispute involving post-impasse economic strike; p. 166. As strike caused a total breakdown of (1) basic education for students and (2) negotiations free from coercive tactics that hold hostage that education is a violation of EERA; p. 167. Board finds it is probable that a violation of the EERA has been committed; p. 169. Injunctive relief is just and proper because any remedy fashioned by PERB could not be considered adequate at law. Inherent interruption of continuity and quality of education that occurred because of the strike requires injunctive relief; p. 170. more or view all topics or full text. | 11 | 18067 | 03/17/87 |
| I011E | Modesto City Schools 301.03000: UNFAIR PRACTICE ISSUES; STRIKES, SLOWDOWNS AND WORK STOPPAGES; Post-Impasse Insufficient grounds for PERB to seek injunctive relief against either party regarding alleged post-impasse strike and implementation of unilateral changes in terms and conditions of employment. Accordingly, Board retains jurisdiction over unfair practice charges and directs General Counsel to supplement earlier investigation to determine whether work stoppage is an unfair practice strike; p. 2. more or view all topics or full text. | 4 | 11033 | 03/10/80 |
