602.00000 – EMPLOYER REFUSAL TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH; UNILATERAL CHANGE (FOR NEGOT OF SPECIFIC SUBJECTS, SEE SEC 1000, SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION)
602.01000 – In General

Whether a unilateral change has occurred is measured by comparing the action taken to the status quo established by a contract or the past practice; p. 11. Under federal law, which is generally followed by PERB in duty to bargain cases, it is clear that the duty to bargain from a status quo after contract expiration emanates from a statute and the duty to bargain obligation imposed by HEERA is more restricted than that imposed by federal statutues; p. 14.
