607.02000: EMPLOYER REFUSAL TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH; DUTY TO CONSULT; With Nonexclusive Representatives
Although the HEERA precludes the University from unilaterally changing a term or condition of employment within the scope of representation when employees are exclusively represented, the University has no such obligation in the absence of an exclusive representative; p. 10. Where higher education employees are not exclusively represented, HEERA obligates University only to communicate its intention prior to making changes to affected employees; pp. 11-12. Where University has communicated its intention to make certain changes to its nonexclusively represented employee and has completed partial implementation of those changes before the certification of an exclusive representative, final implementation of these changes is part of the dynamic status quo and not an unlawful unilateral change; pp. 11-12. pp. 11-12. more or view all topics or full text.

607.02000: EMPLOYER REFUSAL TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH; DUTY TO CONSULT; With Nonexclusive Representatives
HEERA requires University to notify nonexclusively represented individual employees of proposed changes in employment conditions and, if the employee chooses to have his or her union meet with employer to discuss the changes, such meetings are to be held upon request. Here, University failed to give adequate advance notice that a split payment was necessary and, instead, simply notified the employees that the decision had been made. Whatever information was disseminated was too ambiguous to satisfy University's duty to give notice; p. 13-14; pp. 40-48, proposed dec. Nonexclusively represented employeed affected by employer's decision about split payment of merit salary increase did not have reasonable amount of time between notice and implementation of change to allow them to exercise the representational rights recognized by the court amount of time between notice and implementation of change to allow them to exercise the representational rights recognized by the court What constitues adequate notice should be determined by the specific facts and circumstances of each case. Method of notice must be reasonably calculated to apprise employees of the impending charge; consideration should be given to factors as reliability of past means of giving notice, size of employee group, geographic considerations, and availability of various methods of communication. more or view all topics or full text.

607.02000: EMPLOYER REFUSAL TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH; DUTY TO CONSULT; With Nonexclusive Representatives
EERA section 3543.2, which provides that an employer may consult with any employees or employee organizations about matters outside of scope, is limited by other provisions of the EERA, such as section 3543.1(a) which states that only the exclusive representative may represent that unit in their "employment relations" with the public school employer. This limitation on rival unions is not limited to negotiable items, but applies to the broader arena of "employment relations." However, mere discussion between management and other employee groups, rather than making recommendations to management, does not constitute "dealing with" the employer. more or view all topics or full text.

607.02000: EMPLOYER REFUSAL TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH; DUTY TO CONSULT; With Nonexclusive Representatives
University required to provide prior notice and an opportunity to discuss contemplated changes in wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment to nonexclusive representatives. However, obligation under HEERA to give notice and meet with nonexclusive representatives is not the same as that imposed with regard to exclusive representatives; p. 11. Under HEERA, the procedural ground rules for meeting and discussion are properly the subject matter to discussions between the Regents and affected nonexclusive representatives; p. 11. Unreasonable restrictions placed on the presumptive right of access for a representative organization is a clear nexus for a finding that the Regents violated HEERA subsections 3571(a) and (b); p. 21. The language of HEERA and its overall statutory scheme provide a clear indication that the Legislature did not intend to consign nonexclusive The language of HEERA and its overall statutory scheme provide a clear indication that the Legislature did not intend to consign nonexclusive SEERA not provided for similarly or identically in HEERA does not mean that the policy embodied by such provision is not applicable to HEERA; pp. 6-7. HEERA's express provisions indicate a legislative intent to preserve representation rights for employees and employee organizations until such time as an exclusive representative is selected; p. 7. Subsection 3560(e) makes clear the Legislature's intention that designation of nonexclusive representatives is an integral part of the statutory scheme; pp. 7-8. The statutory language of subsection 3565 separates meeting and conferring from other representational functions and is an indication that the Legislature intended to enable employees to be represented by nonexclusive representatives prior to selection of an exclusive representative. The very definition of the term "employee represented by nonexclusive representatives prior to selection of an exclusive representative. The very definition of the term "employee with" the higher education employer regarding employment matters. Otherwide, the Legislature would have limited the definition accordingly, rather than including within that definition " . . . any organization of any kind . . . ."; pp. 9-10. more or view all topics or full text.
