Decision 2065M – County of Riverside
LA-CE-418-M
Decision Date: September 25, 2009
Decision Type: PERB Decision
Description: Jackson alleged that the County reclassified her position to a lower classification because she filed a grievance seeking additional pay for out of class work.
Disposition: The Board affirmed the Board agent’s dismissal of the charge. The Board found the charge failed to establish the reclassification was an adverse action because Jackson’s job duties and salary remained the same after the reclassification. The Board also found Jackson lacked standing to allege that the County failed to meet and confer with her exclusive representative over the reclassification.
