Decision 3013E – United Teachers of Santa Clara and California Teachers Association (SCM)
SF-CO-897-E
Decision Date: March 26, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party SCM alleged that Respondents United Teachers of Santa Clara (UTSC) and California Teachers Association (CTA) breached their duty of fair representation by engaging in a pattern of conduct to deny SCM meaningful access to grievance remedies, thereby violating EERA. After PERB’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) issued SCM a warning letter, he amended the charge and subsequently included supporting exhibits. OGC dismissed the amended charge because it did not state a prima facie violation of EERA. SCM appealed the dismissal and requested review of OGC’s denial of his request to proceed under a pseudonym.
Disposition: In a non-precedential Decision, the Board affirmed OGC’s dismissal and pseudonymity determination, and dismissed Charging Party’s charge without leave to amend.
