Decision 3027S – State of California (Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation)
SF-CE-309-S
Decision Date: June 1, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Amber Rodelander alleged that the State of California (Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation) violated the Dills Act by requiring her to perform work outside her duties and train her supervisor and subordinate. Rodelander further alleged that her manager responded to her concerns about these extra duties by belittling, bullying, and harassing her. After reviewing Rodelander’s charge, OGC issued her a warning letter, explaining that based on the facts Rodelander alleged, her claim appeared to be untimely and to allege issues falling outside PERB’s jurisdiction. The warning letter gave Rodelander an opportunity to amend her charge. Rodelander did so, but OGC concluded that Rodelander had not sufficiently cured the deficiencies explained in the warning letter. OGC therefore dismissed the amended charge. Rodelander appealed.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed OGC’s dismissal of the charge.
