Decision Date: June 16, 2023

Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)

Description:  Charging Party Elias Ruiz appealed the dismissal of his amended unfair practice charge alleging that his union, Turlock Teachers Association, breached its duty of fair representation under the Educational Employment Relations Act by negotiating a memorandum of understanding regarding COVID-19 testing and reporting and refusing to process his related grievances. PERB’s Office of the General Counsel dismissed the charge, concluding that the allegations were untimely, not under PERB’s jurisdiction, and failed to state a prima facie case of any unfair practice.
