Decision 3021P – Service Employees International Union Local 1021 (Haile)
SF-CO-9-P
Decision Date: May 8, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party Tewodros Haile alleged that Respondent Service Employees International Union Local 1021 violated Chapter 4 of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) Act (Pub. Util. Code, §§ 28848 et seq.) by failing to restore his “union seniority” after he was reinstated to employment with BART. PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC) sent Haile a warning letter advising that PERB lacks jurisdiction over internal union matters having no substantial impact on employees’ relationship to their employer. Haile amended the charge, but OGC found that he failed to correct the deficiencies identified in the warning letter and dismissed the charge. Haile appealed.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed OGC’s dismissal of the charge.
