Decision 1576E – Peralta Community College District
SF-CE-2308-E
Decision Date: December 31, 2003
Decision Type: PERB Decision
Description: Lee alleged that the District failed to comply with an arbitrator’s award to reinstate him as a permanent employee, in part by refusing to consult with him and with his union, to withhold vacation pay, sick leave and longevity pay from him, and to hire student employees in violation of the CBA.
Disposition: The Board found that Lee failed to provide specifics regarding the District’s alleged withholding of various benefits. The Board further found that Lee lacked standing to allege failure to consult or unilateral change, since the employer’s duty in those matters is owed to the exclusive representative and not to individual employees. Lee alleged new facts on appeal but the Board did not find good cause to accept them.
