Decision 2913M – County of Santa Cruz
SF-CE-2111-M
Decision Date: August 1, 2024
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging party Service Employees International Union Local 521 appealed a partial dismissal of its unfair practice charge against respondent employer County of Santa Cruz. The Office of the General Counsel (OGC) dismissed SEIU’s allegation that the County had unilaterally changed the terms and conditions of employment when it assigned additional work to a group of child support services workers.
Disposition: The Board reversed the Regional Attorney’s dismissal of the allegation and remanded the matter to OGC to issue an amended complaint. The Board determined that a complaint should issue because SEIU alleged in its charge that the County’s change required the child support services workers to do additional work, and the County failed to bargain over the change prior to implementing it.
