301.10000: UNFAIR PRACTICE ISSUES; STRIKES, SLOWDOWNS AND WORK STOPPAGES; Notice of Intent to Strike
Regents of the University of California (2019) PERB Order No. IR-62-H held that while California’s labor laws do not require strike notice (id. at p. 9), such notice can be relevant to claims of unlawful intermittent striking (ibid.). Moreover, unusually short notice may mean more employees are essential to public safety if the employer loses the opportunity to contract for replacements or take other precatory actions. Finally, in one case the Board held that a surprise teachers’ strike could leave students unsupervised, and the Board therefore directed OGC to seek an injunction requiring the union to provide 60 hours’ strike notice.

301.10000: UNFAIR PRACTICE ISSUES; STRIKES, SLOWDOWNS AND WORK STOPPAGES; Notice of Intent to Strike
The Unions gave ample notice of their intent to strike, thus enabling the University to prepare continuity plans well in advance of each walkout. While such notice is not statutorily required, the fact that the Unions gave more than 10-days’ notice for each strike indicates that they did not convert their protected activities into an unlawful pressure tactic. At the very least, this advance notice was completely inconsistent with the notion that these were “‘hit and run’ strikes engaged in as part of a planned strategy intended ‘to harass the company into a state of confusion[.]’” [Citation.] (p. 9.) more or view all topics or full text. |
