Decision Type: PERB Decision
Description: An administrative law judge issued a proposed decision finding that a City violated MMBA sections 3505 and 3506.5, subdivision (c), by bypassing employees’ exclusive representative and engaging in a direct effort to determine employee sentiment rather than leaving such efforts to the employees’ exclusive representative. City excepted to the proposed decision.
Disposition: While exceptions were pending before the Board, Board informed that parties had reached a global settlement of all disputes and Union requested that it be permitted to withdraw the underlying charge and that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice.
