504.12000: EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATION; EVIDENCE OF UNLAWFUL MOTIVATION; NEXUS; Employer Statements or Conduct; Threats
The Board found that the amended charge alleged facts showing the school district had animosity toward Charging Party’s EERA-protected activities. The day before the meeting at which the school district served Charging Party with the Notice of Intent to Discipline, Charging Party’s supervisor told Charging Party the meeting was about her unauthorized union release time. These statements show that Charging Party’s supervisor disapproved of Charging Party’s union activities, thus supporting an inference that her animus toward those activities played a role in Charging Party’s termination.

It is logical to treat employer statements differently in the interference and discrimination contexts. In assessing a prima facie interference case, motive is normally not at issue, and PERB must determine whether an employer statement is itself a violation, irrespective of motive. In such cases, a manager’s statement “causes no cognizable harm to employee rights unless it contains threats of reprisal or force or promise of a benefit . . . Thus, the charging party must show that the employer’s communications would tend to coerce or interfere with a reasonable employee in the exercise of protected rights.” (County of Riverside (2010) PERB Decision No. 2119- M, p. 17, citations and internal quotation marks omitted.) In contrast, in a discrimination case, PERB must determine motivation, often from circumstantial evidence. Therefore, “context is always relevant,” and PERB looks at “any other” fact or circumstance that may help it resolve the fundamentally difficult task of determining intent. (County of Santa Clara (2019) PERB Decision No. 2629-M, p. 11 and adopting proposed decision at p. 30].) Management statements of anti-union animus may serve as circumstantial evidence of retaliatory nexus. more or view all topics or full text.

Applying City of Oakland (2014) PERB Decision No. 2387-M (City of Oakland) in recent decisions, PERB explained that an employer’s statements may or may not be evidence of an unlawful motivation, depending on the circumstances, irrespective of whether they qualify as threats or promises. (See City of Arcadia (2019) PERB Decision No. 2648-M, p. 30; State of California (Department of Correctional Health Care Services) (2019) PERB Decision No. 2637-S, pp. 15-16; California Virtual Academies (2018) PERB Decision No. 2584, p. 29.) more or view all topics or full text.

Charging party relied heavily upon alleged management statements suggesting that unlawful animus could have been present at a sufficient level for such animus to qualify as a motivating or substantial factor behind his employer’s promotion decision. The proposed decision cited City of Oakland (2014) PERB Decision No. 2387-M (City of Oakland) for the proposition that PERB cannot consider manager statements as evidence of animus unless such statements are themselves a threat or reprisal. The Board disagreed and explained that City of Oakland does not categorically prohibit it from considering employer statements in context, as part of nuanced evaluation of an employer’s motive. Citing NLRB precedent, the Board held: “[A]n employer’s expression of views or opinions against a union, which cannot be deemed a violation in and of itself, can nonetheless be used as background evidence of antiunion animus on the part of the employer.” (CSC Holdings, LLC (2017) 365 NLRB No. 68, p. 17.) Management statements of anti-union animus may serve as circumstantial evidence of retaliatory nexus. more or view all topics or full text.

504.12000: EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATION; EVIDENCE OF UNLAWFUL MOTIVATION; NEXUS; Employer Statements or Conduct; Threats
An employer’s clear and unequivocal hostility to collective bargaining, even if accomplished without threats of reprisal or promises of benefit, gives rise to a logical inference that it might target union supporters for adverse action. In any event, criticism of protected solicitation of union support and membership as possibly illegal, a breach of “trust,” and involving “lies” and “trick[s],” sailed well outside the safe harbor for protected employer speech. more or view all topics or full text.

504.12000: EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATION; EVIDENCE OF UNLAWFUL MOTIVATION; NEXUS; Employer Statements or Conduct; Threats
A comment by a District official during her hearing testimony that “[a]t this point, I disbelieve most everything [charging party] says” does not demonstrate bias or animosity against charging party sufficient to constitute improper motive for taking adverse action, since the comment was made after she was involved in investigating the employee’s work conduct, and there was no evidence that she disbelieved employee when she was conducting the investigations. Hostile comments that do not bear on protected activities or a protected group are insufficient to demonstrate animus. Hostility by manager arose because she believed charging party was untruthful, not because of protected activity. A District official’s categorical declaration that allegations in a grievance over working conditions are completely false, made before thoroughly investigating the complaints, suggests improper bias, even when the grievance includes a personal accusation concerning the official’s marital fidelity. District official’s hostility toward employees who filed public complaint is demonstrated by her animus toward the attorney representing the employees. There is nothing unlawful in a manager denying accusations that he or she believes to be untrue, provided the communication does not also convey a threat or promise of benefit. more or view all topics or full text.

An illegal motive may be inferred from the circumstances surrounding the adverse action. These may include anti-union animus exhibited by the employer or its agents; the pretextual nature of the ostensible justification; or other failure to establish a business justification. In such cases, the Board is free to draw inferences from all the circumstances, and need not accept an employer’s self-serving declarations of intent, even if they are uncontradicted. more or view all topics or full text.

A manager’s mere dislike of a charging party does not, in and of itself, demonstrate nexus. From the school principal’s e-mail stating he was “taking out a hit on” charging party, it is apparent that the school principal harbored a bias against charging party, but not because of charging party’s protected activity. The bias instead stemmed from the principal’s belief that he was “bad for kids.” Such bias does not violate EERA. more or view all topics or full text.

On several occasions, the principal expressed, and other teachers parroted, their mistaken belief that the teacher had filed a grievance about the independent study program.) The memo was the first time that the principal expressed her concerns about the teacher’s work after 6 months of silent visits. The principal’s testimony that the Assistant Superintendent of Personnel Services approved the memo to the teacher scheduling 26 hours of observation conflicts with the testimony of the Assistant Superintendent, who stated that the draft he reviewed was missing the proposed hours of observation. Although the principal testified that she had concerns about the teacher’s teaching style for months, the teacher had an exemplary record. In fact the principal had previously written a glowing recommendation for the teacher’s application as a consulting teacher, in which he would evaluate “teachers in trouble.” The teacher’s performance evaluations included praise for the teacher’s ability to assess students and to modify his teaching style to meet students’ needs. more or view all topics or full text.

It is axiomatic that the purpose of the employment interview is to elicit information from a candidate in order to make a hiring decision. The Board holds that when an employer asks an interviewee whether he or she is sympathetic to other employees exercising their rights under EERA, it creates a strong inference of discrimination and may constitute direct evidence of discrimination, thus, the requirement of nexus is satisfied for purposes of establishing a prima facie case. more or view all topics or full text.
