An unfair practice must be filed with PERB within six months of its occurrence. (Gov. Code, sec. 3514.5(a).) PERB has held that the six-month period commences once the charging party knows, or should have known, of the conduct underlying the charge; The charging party's lack of knowledge of PERB, the statutes enforced by PERB, or charging party's rights under those statutes does not excuse a late filing.
