Decision 2954M – City of Alameda
SF-CE-2180-M
Decision Date: April 14, 2025
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party John Bignone alleged that Respondent City of Alameda violated the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) by terminating him in retaliation after he informed management of unsafe work practices. After issuing Bignone a warning letter and affording him an opportunity to amend his charge, PERB’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) dismissed the charge. OGC found that he had failed to state a prima facie case of retaliation for protected activity, that PERB lacked jurisdiction over several of his other claims, and that certain allegations were time barred. OGC explained its determination that to the extent Bignone alleged that the City violated its statutory duty to bargain in good faith with the Union, Bignone lacked standing to assert such allegations Bignone appealed OGC’s dismissal.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed the dismissal.
