| 2572M | San Bernardino Public Employees Association 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Before an employee is obligated to join the union or pay an agency fee, union must give notice of right not to become a member and to object to paying for union activities unrelated to the union’s duties as the bargaining representative, but this notice need not be provided in the organizational security provisions in a memorandum of understanding. more or view all topics or full text. | 43 | 7 | 06/21/18 |
| 2295M | City and County of San Francisco (Department of Aging and Adult Services) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General The proper respondent in an action to challenge the amount of an agency fee deduction is the union or exclusive representative.

| 2135S | Service Employees International Union Local 1000 (Slotterbeck) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Allegations that union failed to honor non-member’s request to pay reduced fair share fee for two prior fiscal years were untimely because non-member knew, or should have known, when he received his first paycheck of each fiscal year that the union had not honored his request; the deduction of the full fair share fee on each subsequent paycheck did not extend the six-month statute of limitations under the continuing violation doctrine. Charge did not allege facts showing that the union failed to honor the non-member’s request to pay a reduced fair share fee in the current fiscal year. Non-member lacked standing to allege that the union improperly calculated the fair share fee because the non-member did not allege that he exhausted the union’s internal procedure for challenging the fee calculation, as required by PERB Regulation 32994(a). more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 142 | 10/06/10 |
| 2137H | California State University Employees Union, Service Employees International Union Local 2579 (Sarca) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Because the charging party was not obligated to pay a fair share fee, he lacked standing to allege that the union improperly calculated the fair share fee amount. Although it satisfied the exhaustion of internal challenge procedures requirement in PERB Regulation 32994(a), charging party’s representation of other employees in fair share fee arbitration proceedings did not confer standing upon him. more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 152 | 10/20/10 |
| 1973E | Los Angeles City and County School Employees Union, Local 99 (Grove) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General The six-month statute of limitations was not extended under the continuing violation doctrine each time an employee’s union dues were deducted from the employee’s paycheck. The Board lacks jurisdiction to consider an employee’s claim that the union’s failure to immediately reduce his union dues upon resignation from union membership violated his constitutional right to resign from union membership. more or view all topics or full text. | 32 | 131 | 08/26/08 |

| 1844E | Kern High Faculty Association, CTA/NEA (Maaskant) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Exclusive representatives are under no obligation to accept agency fees from non-members. The test for standing is whether the union accepted an employee’s agency fee payment. Once a union collects an agency fee payment, it is presumed that the union has accepted the payment and the employee has standing to challenge the fees. In order to dispossess an employee of standing, a union must take an affirmative act to completely relieve the employee of agency fee payer status. more or view all topics or full text. | 30 | 128 | 05/19/06 |

Rather, it is a statutory mechanism to compel compliance with the disclosure requirements for certain records. Once the records are produced, the responding party’s obligations have been fully discharged and the matter is properly dismissed. Petitions to compel compliance with HEERA section 3587 are not appropriate mechanisms to challenge agency fee calculations.

| 1673H | California Nurses Association (O'Malley) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General The Board dismissed O’Malley’s allegation that CNA used O’Malley’s agency fees before issuing a Hudson notice. CNA made every attempt to accommodate O’Malley, including refunding the fees with interest after O’Malley brought the issue to its attention. CNA was also proactive in attempting to arrange with the University to stop O’Malley’s deduction. There is evidence in the record that the Hudson notice was actually sent to the addresses of all non-members provided by the employer before the fees were deducted. The Board finds California Nurses Association (O’Malley) (2004) PERB Decision No. 1607-H dispositive in that once CNA has refunded the agency fees, there is no possibility for harm to O’Malley that the Board could remedy. The Board also stated that to the extent California School Employees Association, Chapter 258 (Gerber) (2001) PERB Decision No. 1472 is inconsistent with California Nurses Association (O’Malley), it is overturned. more or view all topics or full text. | 28 | 218 | 08/06/04 |
| 1607H | California Nurses Association (O'Malley) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Refunding agency fees does not require termination of non-members for failure to pay agency fees as required by a collective bargaining agreement. San Lorenzo Education Assn. v. Wilson (1982) 32 Cal. 3d 841, 847 [187 Cal. Rptr. 432].) In this case, CNA voluntarily refunded O’Malley’s fees and there is no indication that either CNA or the University of California plan to terminate his employment. O’Malley may not assert agency fee objections on behalf of other unit employees. more or view all topics or full text. | 28 | 117 | 03/18/04 |
| 1578H | California Nurses Association (O'Malley) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General HEERA section 3587, as implemented by PERB Regulation 32135, provides the appropriate and only remedy for failure to make available CNA’s financial records, a petition to compel compliance. CNA provided the requested financial information to the Board, who in turn, forwarded them to O’Malley. That is all that is required under these provisions. Therefore, the issue is now moot.It should be noted that PERB Regulation 32125(a), formerly section 32125(e), only permits an employee belonging to the organization to file a petition to compel compliance under HEERA section 3587.

| 1472E | California School Employees Association, Chapter 258 (Gerber) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Violation found where agency fees were deducted from employee's paycheck before he was sent a Hudson notice. Where monies were improperly deducted from employee's paychecks for two consecutive months, and were not returned to the employee by the union until some eleven weeks after the first deduction and almost seven weeks after the second deduction, it is an unfair practice, without regard to whether the violation was advertent or inadvertent.

| 1460E | California School Employees Association, Chapter 258 (Gerber) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General There is no violation of PERB Regulation 32994(3), where charging party alleges hearing was more than 45 days after objection period but doesn’t show that the union failed to request a prompt hearing. There is no violation of PERB Regulation 32994(5), where charging party didn’t receive an arbitration notice from the exclusive representative because the union had no obligation to provide, or failed to provide notice of arbitration. There is no violation of PERB Regulation 32992, because the union did provide a copy of the auditor's report. The regulation requires only that the union provide the basis for calculation, and basis for chargeable expenditures. more or view all topics or full text. | 25 | 32110 | 09/06/01 |
| 1446H | University Professional and Technical Employees, Communications Workers of America Local 9119 (Witke) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General In light of the fact that the arbitrator kept the fair share hearing open while he waited for the exclusive representative to comply with his request for documents regarding jurisdiction, the award complied with the 30-day requirement of PERB Regulation 32994(b)(8); pp 2-3, warning letter. When the agency fee arbitration has already concluded, PERB will defer to an arbitrator's award and refuse to issue a complaint in which: (1) the arbitration proceedings were fair and regular; and (2) the arbitrator's award is not clearly repugnant to the purposes of the Act; p. 3, warning letter. The charge demonstrated that the arbitration proceeding violated several AAA rules. Although failure to comply with the AAA rules is a serious matter, the rule violations involved a jurisdictional issue tangential to the issues raised by the charging party. The charging party raised objections regarding whether the respondent's expenses were chargeable or non-chargeable, not whether the respondent's notice adequately informed him of the possibility of other forums. As such, the proceedings appear to have been fair and regular as they pertained to the charging party's objections, except as to whether the award was issued in a timely manner; p. 3, dismissal letter. The failure of the arbitrator to issue the award in a timely manner was insufficient to demonstrate the proceedings were conducted in an irregular and unfair manner; p. 3, dismissal letter. Charging party alleged the arbitrator's award was repugnant to the Act because a comparison of the respondent's financial statements and the respondent's IRS forms revealed different figures, and that the respondent used different accounting methods to calculate these figures. However, the charge failed to demonstrate that such a comparison rendered the decision clearly repugnant to the Act. The award analyzed the respondent's system for identifying chargeable and non-chargeable expenses and concluded the system was fair and reasonable. Even in a case where PERB may have reached different conclusions than the arbitrator, that alone does not demonstrate the award is repugnant to the Act; p. 4, dismissal letter. more or view all topics or full text. | 25 | 32086 | 06/21/01 |
| 1447E | United Teachers of Los Angeles (Hopper) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Charging party did not indicate with specificity how the exclusive representative's agency fee notice failed to comply with PERB regulations. The notice form explicitly expressed the amount of the agency fee as a percentage of the annual dues per member based upon the chargeable expenditures. The notice also supplied the basis of the calculation of the agency fee; p. 5, warning letter, pp. 2-5, dismissal letter. more or view all topics or full text. | 25 | 32087 | 06/21/01 |
| 1417E | Sweetwater Union High School District 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General Union may lawfully charge agency fee payors an amount equal to union dues. Union has obligation to provide agency fee payors with notice of their right to pay a reduced service fee and of their right to challenge the amount of the reduced service fee set by the union.

| 1310E | Teachers Association of Long Beach (Akers, et al.) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General PERB Regulation 32994(a) requires that an agency fee payer who wishes to challenge the amount of the fee by filing an unfair practice charge must first exhaust the exclusive representative’s agency fee appeal procedure unless the procedure is insufficient on its face; warning letter. Where there was no evidence of exhaustion, the charge is dismissed; participation in the arbitration must be in the year that is under challenge in the unfair; warning letter. In an agency fee case, PERB will defer to an arbitrator's award and refuse to issue a complaint where: (1) the arbitration proceedings were fair and regular; and (2) the arbitrator's award is not clearly repugnant to the purposes of the Act; warning letter. more or view all topics or full text. | 23 | 30048 | 01/27/99 |

When maintenance of membership provision ceases to have effect, i.e., when contract no longer in effect or when effective contract is superceded by a new contract, EERA section 3540.1(i)(1) permits employees to terminate their membership for a period of thirty days; p. 10.

| 1295E | ABC Federation of Teachers, American Federation of Teachers (Murray, et al.) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General PERB will defer to an arbitrator's award in an agency fee objection case and refuse to issue a complaint where: (1) the arbitration proceedings were fair and regular; and (2) the arbitrator's award is not clearly repugnant to the purposes of EERA. Established case law as well as PERB Regulation 32994(b)(6) specifically require the exclusive representative to bear the burden of establishing the reasonableness of the agency fee amount. Since the arbitrator placed the burden on the opposite party (the objectors), the Board agent found that the arbitrator's award is contrary to PERB regulations and is, therefore, repugnant to the purposes of EERA. Although the union bears the burden of proving reasonableness of the agency fee, absolute precision is not required in the calculation of the agency fee. agency fee, absolute precision is not required in the calculation of the agency fee.

| 0958E | Kings Canyon Educational Association (Largent) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General It is only when a nonmember service fee payer objects to paying a fee which includes pruposes beyond a union's representational obligations that his fee must be reduced (Cumero v. Public Employment Relations Board (1989) 49 Cal.3d 575, 589-590); p. 1, dismissal letter. It is the union's spending of the fee on activities unrelated to it's duty as exclusive representative that can be the subject of objection. A nonmember who selected the option to contribute the "sum equal to dues or service fee" to a charitable fund provided for in the CBA is not entitled to pay a reduced amount under Hudson; pp. 2-3, warning letter. more or view all topics or full text. | 17 | 24001 | 11/18/92 |

(Cumero) 803.01000: UNION UNFAIR PRACTICES; UNION SECURITY; AGENCY/FAIR SHARE FEE; DUES DEDUCTION/CHECK OFF; In General The specific and unequivocal authority to negotiate a mandatory service fee found in EERA section 3546 controls and qualifies the general right (of employees) to refrain from participating in organizational activities expressed in section 3543. Therefore, "interference" with Cumero's right to refuse to participate in organizational activities resulting from his obligation to pay some service fee is justified by the California Legislature's assessment of the important contribution of organizational security arrangements to the system of employer-employee relations established under EERA; p. 10. more or view all topics or full text. | 6 | 13065 | 03/03/82 |
