Decision 2929M – City of Alhambra
LA-CE-1598-M
Decision Date: November 12, 2024
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: The complaint alleged that the City of Alhambra violated the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act by (1) unilaterally resetting the anniversary dates for salary step increase eligibility for all Alhambra Firefighters Association, Local 1578 unit members who moved or promoted to a new classification, and (2) dominating or interfering with the administration of the Association. After a formal hearing, the ALJ sustained only the unilateral change claim.
Disposition: The Board affirmed the proposed decision but adjusted the remedy in two respects: (1) if the City recouped payments from any Association unit members due to its misapplication of MOU Article IV, as amended, the City shall compensate those members for their financial losses (Pasadena Area Community College District (2024) PERB Order No. Ad-518, p. 19, fn. 11; State of California (Correctional Health Care Services) (2021) PERB Decision No. 2760-S, p. 42); and (2) the City shall augment any monetary relief owed with daily compound interest (El Centro Regional Medical Center (2024) PERB Decision No. 2890-M, pp. 19-20).
