Decision 3002E – * * * JUDICIAL APPEAL PENDING * * * Sierra Joint Community College District
SA-CE-3214-E
Decision Date: February 9, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party Nalo Pelago alleged that Respondent Sierra Joint Community College District interfered with protected activities and retaliated against him for such activities in violation of EERA. The main retaliatory act Pelago alleged is the District’s decision to terminate his employment before the end of his probationary period. PERB’s Office of the General Counsel dismissed the charge explaining that Pelago had not alleged facts that would establish causation between the termination and his protected activities or that the District had otherwise violated EERA. Pelago appealed.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed the dismissal.
